The comparison of the prognostic value of scored patient generated subjective global assessment and Computed Tomography measured sarcopenia in patients with gynecological cancer.

Background: Screening of the nutrition status is recommended for the early detection and treatment of cancer-associated malnutrition to improve the prognosis. We aimed to compare the prognostic value of Patient Generated-Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and CT measured sarcopenia in patients with gynecological cancer.

Methods: A total of 107 patients of which were 57 endometrial, 37 ovarian, and 13 cervical cancer who underwent surgery and evaluated by PG-SGA were enrolled.

Investigation of anxiety sensitivity levels of cancer patients in terms of COVID-19 vaccine: a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Our study's purpose was to investigate the viewpoints of cancer patients who had not yet been vaccinated. Cancer patients usually cannot get every vaccine because their immunity is low. For this reason, we aimed to detect their anxiety and curiosity for new vaccines for a new disease.

Effect of using magnifying loupe glasses on lymphocele formation and surgical outcomes in gynecologic oncology.

Objective: To investigate the effect of using magnifying loupes during surgery on surgical outcomes and lymphocele formation.

Materials And Methods: We prospectively enrolled 36 patients with gynecologic cancer who underwent pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. Age, body mass index, menopausal status, type of cancer, comorbid diseases, preoperative albumin and albumin replacement therapy, performance status, serum CA125, hemoglobin, platelets and white blood cells, surgical procedure, blood loss, blood transfusion, the count of removed lymph nodes, presence of metastatic lymph nodes, total amount of drainage, postoperative complications, operation length, and count of used hemoclips were recorded.

Surgical risk assessment for gynecological oncologic patients.

Objective: Preoperative surgical risk assessment is important in terms of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these surgeries via an ideal risk assessment model, and reduce risks via applying some findings (for instance, perioperative beta-blockers). There are some risk assessment systems, but these have generally not been verified for patients with gynecologic cancer.

Incidence of suspicious axillary lymph node involvement in fluorine-18 fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in gynecologic cancers.

Objective: There is scarce information about axillary lymph node involvement in gynecologic cancers. We analyzed the incidence of suspicious axillary lymph nodes in gynecologic cancers.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the positron emission tomography/computed tomography findings of 251 patients with endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer.
