The Female Reproductive Tract Microbiome and Cancerogenesis: A Review Story of Bacteria, Hormones, and Disease.

The microbiota is the complex community of microorganisms that populate a particular environment in the human body, whereas the microbiome is defined by the entire habitat-microorganisms and their environment. The most abundant and, therefore, the most studied microbiome is that of the gastrointestinal tract. However, the microbiome of the female reproductive tract is an interesting research avenue, and this article explores its role in disease development.

Validation of a New Prognostic Score in Patients with Ovarian Adenocarcinoma.

This study aimed to assess the impact of clinical prognostic factors and propose a prognostic score that aids the clinician's decision in estimating the risk for patients in clinical practice. The study included 195 patients diagnosed with ovarian adenocarcinoma. The therapeutic strategy involved multidisciplinary decisions: surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (80%), neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery (16.

Actualities in Involvement of Estrogens in the Pathogenesis of Colorectal Cancer.

Gastrointestinal effects of estrogens are emerging as an important topic in colorectal cancer management. Current research demonstrated the link between inflammation and this malignancy, so important estrogen dependent mediators of the inflammatory response have been identified. Radioresistance and chemoresistance still represent an important cause of therapeutic failure in colorectal cancer and lead to further studies of colorectal carcinogenesis and predictive markers.

Long-term oncological outcome in patients with cervical cancer after 3 trimodality treatment (radiotherapy, platinum-based chemotherapy, and robotic surgery).

Cervical cancer represents a general health issue spread all over the globe, which prompts the surge of scientific survey toward the rise of survival and condition of life of these patients. American and European guidelines suggest the open surgery, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery are the main therapeutic approaches for radical hysterectomy for patients with cervical cancer. This is the first survey to analyze the long-term oncological outcome of an extensive series of subjects cared for with multimodality treatment, here comprising robotic surgery.

Rare Pelvic Malignant Tumors in Adults: Treatment Features and Clinical Outcome in Nonmetastatic Disease (Single Institution Experience).

Background: Nearly 200 cancers repertories are rare, and more than 20% are pelvic neoplasia. Diagnosis and treatment are challenging, even in reference centers, and survival is influenced by the aggressiveness of certain histologies and absence of a standard of care.

Patients And Methods: The authors report the results of a retrospective analysis of patients that attended the Institute of Oncology, Bucharest, between 2004 and 2015, for nonmetastatic pelvic malignant tumor treatment and follow-up.

The evaluation of the oxidative stress for patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer.
