Outcome and Management of Serous Tubal Intraepithelial Carcinoma Following Opportunistic Salpingectomy: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: Serous ovarian cancer is the most common subtype of epithelial ovarian carcinoma-the most prevalent type of ovarian cancer. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is thought to arise from the distal fallopian tube, with a precursor lesion known as serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC). STICs are found in the final pathology of a salpingectomy specimen in 10%-20% of women with a BRCA gene mutation and 1%-7% of women without a mutation.

Effect of transanastomotic feeding tubes on anastomotic strictures in patients with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula: The Quebec experience.

Purpose: Recent studies have identified transanastomotic tubes (TATs) as a risk factor for the development of anastomotic strictures after repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EATEF). We further investigated these findings in a multicenter study.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study at three university-affiliated hospitals in the province of Quebec.
