Potential biomarker of circulating hsa-miR-1273g-3p level for detection of recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.

Purpose: Ovarian cancer (OC) is first gynaecologic cancer that causes women death and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal ovarian cancer type. While treatment is commonly successful, some cases (10-20%) show resistance to chemotherapy which is followed by recurrence. MicroRNA (miRNA) based diagnosis methods are slightly important for recurrent ovarian cancer diagnosis.

Which factors are associated with the recurrence of endometrioma after cystectomy?

Endometrioma is the most common form of endometriosis and is a sign of wide-spread disease in symptomatic patients. Medical treatment options can be successful in endometrioma smaller than 1 cm, but ineffective for growing and symptomatic endometriomas. Conservative surgical interventions that preserve fertility, such as laparoscopic removal or destruction of endometriotic tissue or aspiration of cystic content are typically used to treat the condition.

Borderline ovarian tumors: clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes - a multicenter study.

Background: The optimal surgical management and staging of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are controversial. Institutions have different surgical approaches for the treatment of BOTs. Here, we performed a retrospective review of clinical characteristics, surgical management and surgical outcomes, and sought to identify variables affecting disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with BOTs.

Purpose: To assess the success rates of two step loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) compared with conventional cold conization procedures for decreasing positive surgical margins.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on 70 patients who underwent colposcopic evaluation in Zeynep Kamil Women and Children's Health Training and Research Hospital between 20132015 with indications of CIN 2/3 or persistent CIN 1 for more than 2 years. The study included age matched groups of patients with similar histopathololical lesions who underwent cold conization (n=40) or LEEP (N=30).

Area under curve of temporal estradiol measurements for prediction of the detrimental effect of estrogen exposure on implantation.

Objective: To assess whether the area under the curve of temporal estradiol measurements (AUCEM) during cycles of assisted reproductive technology (ART) can be used to predict failure of implantation and clinical pregnancy.
