Assessment of magnetic resonance imaging findings in ovarian granulosa cell tumors along with clinical prognostic factors.

Aim: To determine the role of preoperative MRI in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) of the ovary.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients who were operated on between 2018 and 2022 and who were pathologically diagnosed with GHT and met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively examined. The findings were compared with the patients' demographic data, symptoms, surgical findings (laterality, stage, lymph node involvement, endometrial pathology, tumor size), and CA-125 levels.

The relationship between imaging-based body composition parameters and disease prognosis in patients with endometrial cancer.

Background: Obesity is known as a risk factor for endometrial cancer (EC). Only a few studies investigate the relationship between sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity and EC. In this study, our aim was to investigate the relationship between the cross-sectional imaging-based body composition parameters and the disease prognosis in low-grade (LG) and high-grade (HG) EC.

Endometroid type endometrial cancer after surgery: unravelling the interplay of sleep, fatigue, and psychological well-being.

Background: Endometrioid carcinoma, originating in the endometrium glandular cells, is often detected early and treated by surgery. However, post-treatment life quality remains poorly studied, explicitly focusing on sleep quality, fatigue, and depression.

Methods: In this cross-sectional, observational study, 147 female patients with endometrioid-type endometrial carcinoma were evaluated using standardised tools-Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).

Relapses occurring after the first three years following primary treatment of EC are considered late recurrences.

Prognostic value of lymph node features in patients diagnosed with stage IIIC endometrial adenocancer.

Aim: Our study investigated the lymph node (LN) features most affecting survival in endometrial adenocancer (EAC) patients with LN involvement.

Results: A total of 120 stage IIIC endometrioid-type EAC patients were included in the study.

Defining the relationship between ovarian adult granulosa cell tumors and synchronous endometrial pathology: Does ovarian tumor size correlate with endometrial cancer?

Objective: The main feature of adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCT) is their capacity to secrete hormones, with nearly all of them capable of synthesizing oestradiol. The primary goal of this study is to identify synchronized endometrial pathologies, particularly endometrial cancer, in AGCT patients who had undergone a hysterectomy.

Materials And Methods: The study cohort comprised retrospectively of 316 AGCT patients from 10 tertiary gynecological oncology centers.

Objective: To define the clinical, histopathological features and the prognostic factors affecting survival in patients with adult granulosa cell tumors of the ovary (AGCT).

Methods: A 322 patients whose final pathologic outcome was AGCT treated at nine tertiary oncology centers between 1988 and 2021 participated in the study.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 51.

Risk factors for omental metastasis and the effect of omentectomy on survival in type 2 endometrial cancer patients.

To investigate the risk factors for occult omental metastasis and the effect of omentectomy on the survival of type 2 endometrial cancer (EC) patients. This study enrolled patients who were diagnosed with high-risk (grade 3, serous, clear cell, undifferentiated, carcinosarcoma, or mixed type) EC between 2000 and 2021 and underwent surgery in our center. Data from 482 patients were analyzed retrospectively.

The prognostic value of P53 index in predicting the recurrence of early low-risk endometrial cancer.

Aim: We aimed to clarify the clinical value of P53 index in patients with early low-risk endometrial cancer (EC) and find an optimal cut-off value of P53 index for predicting the recurrence of these patients.

Methods: The clinicopathological data of 157 patients with early low-risk EC (stage 1A with grade 1 or 2 endometrioid EC) were analyzed. The optimal cut-off value of the P53 index was calculated by the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and Youden index.

Role of magnetic resonance imaging in the differentiation of mucinous ovarian carcinoma and mucinous borderline ovarian tumors.

Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the differentiation of mucinous borderline ovarian tumor from mucinous ovarian carcinoma using magnetic resonance imaging.

Methods: We evaluated 77 women patients who underwent abdominal magnetic resonance imaging due to pelvic mass. magnetic resonance imaging was reviewed by an experienced radiologist.

The clinical significance of lymphovascular space invasion in patients with low-risk endometrial cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of lymphovascular space invasion on recurrence and disease-free survival in patients with low-risk endometrial cancer.

Methods: The study included patients with stage 1A, grade 1-2 endometrioid endometrial cancer who underwent a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy. Independent prognostic predictors of endometrial cancer recurrence were assessed using the Cox regression model.

Metastasis of endometrial cancer to breast: A rare case.

Only 2% of all breast cancers are metastatic, making them extremely uncommon. They are frequently mistaken for a primary breast tumor. Although it has been observed, metastatic spread from primary uterine cancers is extremely uncommon.

cERBB-2/Her-2 Neu Overexpression and Prognostic Significance in Uterine Carcinosarcoma.

Objective: There is not enough data in the literature regarding Her-2 overexpression in uterine carcinosarcomas or its association with the prognosis. The aim of this study was to determine the Her-2 overexpression rate in uterine carcinosarcoma and to evaluate its relationship with the prognosis.

Material And Method: Her-2 protein and gene status were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), respectively, in hysterectomy specimens from 51 patients with uterine carcinosarcoma.

Analysis of vanishing endometrial cancer by pathological types.

Purpose: We asked why endometrial cancer sometimes vanishes.

Methods: A total of 454 patients diagnosed with endometrioid-type endometrial cancer (EC) (via endometrial sampling) and treated in our clinic over the past 5 years were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups: vanishing and residual, depending on whether a tumor was detected in the postoperative hysterectomy specimen.

Prediction model for residual high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate risk factors associated with high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in patients undergoing a second cervical excision procedure due to positive surgical margins and to create a prediction model for residual disease.

Methods: This study included patients with HSIL positive surgical margins following loop electrosurgical excision procedures (LEEP) between March 2015 and August 2019. HSIL in the second cervical excision pathology in these patients was accepted as residual disease.

Functional traits driving species role in the structure of terrestrial vertebrate scavenger networks.

Species assemblages often have a non-random nested organization, which in vertebrate scavenger (carrion-consuming) assemblages is thought to be driven by facilitation in competitive environments. However, not all scavenger species play the same role in maintaining assemblage structure, as some species are obligate scavengers (i.e.

Does ovarian preservation have an effect on recurrence of early stage low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma?

Surgical treatment of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma consists of hysterectomy. The role of oophorectomy is yet to be established. We aimed to examine the effect of preserving the ovaries on the pattern of recurrences in patients with stage I disease.
