Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine the sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) of sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection in cervical cancer using a combination technique, and to test the SLN algorithm that was proposed by the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC).
Methods: The study included 57 FIGO stage IA2-IIA patients who were treated at the Erasto Gaertner Hospital, Curitiba, from 2008 to 2010. The patients underwent SLN mapping by technetium lymphoscintigraphy and patent blue dye injection.

Purpose: Fatigue is a phenomenon that may persist for years after completion of adjuvant therapy, and is one of the most frequent symptoms associated with breast cancer survivors. The purposes of this study were to investigate the occurrence of fatigue in disease-free breast cancer survivors after treatment, to identify variables associated with fatigue, and to evaluate the impact of fatigue on health-related quality of life.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 202 consecutive women diagnosed with in-situ to Stage III breast cancer attending in outpatient facilities of two large hospitals, one year or more after diagnosis.
Purpose: to evaluate the results of treatment to which patients with high grade intraepithelial cervical neoplasia (HSIL) are submitted, as well as their follow-up during pregnancy.
Methods: retrospective study based on the review of the medical report of 30 patients with diagnosis of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) during pregnancy and attended to at a tertiary hospital in southern Brazil from 1990 to 2002. Diagnosis was performed by colposcopy and biopsy, with repetition of the colposcopy during the pregnancy and after delivery.
