Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate MRI findings of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) as a predictor of histological grade.
Materials And Methods: This study included 60 patients with histopathologically confirmed OEC (20, 30, and 10 with grades 1, 2, and 3, respectively). Clinical and MRI results were retrospectively reviewed.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of MRI findings for differentiating between ovarian metastasis from stomach cancer (OMSC) and colorectal cancer (OMCC).
Methods: Twenty-six patients with histopathologically proven ovarian metastasis (n = 8 with 12 OMSCs and n = 18 with 25 OMCCs) were enrolled in the study. All patients had undergone pelvic MRI before surgery.
Introduction: Few studies have explored the preventive efficacy of vaginal progesterone (VD) treatment for preterm delivery (PTD) in Japanese clinical practice. In this study, the efficacy of the VD treatment in pregnant women with a short cervix (sCX) diagnosed after 24 weeks is evaluated, focusing on perinatal outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective historical cohort study.
Chemotherapy-induced ovarian toxicity in patients with cancer significantly affects future fertility depending on the age of initiation of treatment. However, the mechanisms underlying the age-related depletion of the ovarian reserve are not well understood. We investigated the effects of chemotherapy on pre- and postpubertal ovarian reserves in a mouse model.

- Fertility preservation and reproductive treatments in Japan involve significant out-of-pocket expenses for adolescents and young adults, with current healthcare policies lacking in insurance coverage for these services.
- Patients can apply for government subsidies under specific conditions, but the costs and amounts paid vary by facility.
- A study conducted with 186 fertility preservation facilities revealed that about one-third of the expenses are shouldered by patients, highlighting the need for improved pricing and insurance options to ensure ongoing access to care.
