A systematic review and meta-analysis of obstetric and maternal outcomes after prior uterine artery embolization.

This study aimed to review the obstetric complications during subsequent pregnancies after uterine artery embolization (UAE) for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) by exploring the relationship between prior UAE and obstetric complications through a meta-analysis. We conducted a systematic literature review through March 31, 2021, using PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials in compliance with the PRISMA guidelines and determined the effect of prior UAE for PPH on the rate of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), PPH, placenta previa, hysterectomy, fetal growth restriction (FGR), and preterm birth (PTB). Twenty-three retrospective studies (2003-2021) met the inclusion criteria.

Clinico-pathological significance of suspicious peritoneal cytology in endometrial cancer.

Background And Objectives: Suspicious peritoneal cytology refers to the result of peritoneal cytology testing that is insufficient in either quality or quantity for a definitive diagnosis of malignancy. This study examined characteristics and survival outcomes related to suspicious peritoneal cytology in endometrial cancer.

Methods: A population-based retrospective study by querying the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program was conducted.

CD70 antibody-drug conjugate: A potential novel therapeutic agent for ovarian cancer.

This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity of a cluster of differentiation 70 antibody-drug conjugate (CD70-ADC) against ovarian cancer in in vitro and in vivo xenograft models. CD70 expression was assessed in clinical samples by immunohistochemical analysis. Western blotting and fluorescence-activated cell sorting analyses were used to determine CD70 expression in the ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and SKOV3, and in the cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines A2780cisR and SKOV3cisR.

The association of endometriosis with placenta previa and postpartum hemorrhage: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to review the effect of endometriosis on the prevalence of placenta previa and postpartum hemorrhage in pregnant patients and the surgical outcomes of pregnant patients with endometriosis developing placenta previa.

Data Sources: In compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a systematic review of the literature was conducted on December 31, 2020, using PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library.

Study Eligibility Criteria: Comparative studies between pregnant women with and without endometriosis and studies that investigated the surgical outcomes of patients with and without endometriosis developing placenta previa were included.

Antenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Increasing evidence suggests a relationship between in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Some studies have reported a lower rate of antenatal diagnosis of PAS after IVF-ET compared to PAS with spontaneous conception. This study aimed to review the diagnostic accuracy of PAS after IVF-ET and to explore the relationship between IVF-ET pregnancy and PAS.

Surgical and oncologic outcomes of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for uterine leiomyosarcoma: A systematic review of literature.

Objective: To examine the perioperative and survival outcomes in women with disseminated peritoneal uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) who underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).

Methods: A comprehensive systematic review of literature was conducted using multiple public search engines, PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library, in compliance with the PRISMA guidelines. Women with disseminated peritoneal uLMS treated with CRS-HIPEC were analyzed.

Uterine carcinosarcoma: Contemporary clinical summary, molecular updates, and future research opportunity.

Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a biphasic aggressive high-grade endometrial cancer in which the sarcoma element has de-differentiated from the carcinoma element. UCS is considered a rare tumor, but its incidence has gradually increased in recent years (annual percent change from 2000 to 2016 1.7%, 95% confidence interval 1.

CD70 antibody-drug conjugate as a potential therapeutic agent for uterine leiomyosarcoma.

Background: Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive gynecologic malignancy originating in the myometrium of the uterine corpus that tends to recur even after complete surgical excision. Current therapeutic agents have only modest effects on uterine leiomyosarcoma. Although antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates have been recognized as useful targeted therapies for other cancers, no study has yet evaluated the effects of this approach on uterine leiomyosarcoma.

Obstetric Outcomes of Pregnancy After Uterine Artery Embolization.

Background: Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is used to treat severe postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). According to a few studies, UAE for PPH was associated with preterm birth, fetal growth restriction (FGR), and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) in subsequent pregnancies. These previous studies, however, lacked controls, and to the best of our knowledge, no systematic literature reviews have been conducted thus far.

Systematic review on the needle and suture types for uterine compression sutures: a literature review.

Background: This study aimed to identify and review associations between the types of sutures used for uterine compression suture (UCS) and its outcomes in postpartum hemorrhage.
