Oncologic outcomes in the era of modern radiation therapy using FIGO 2018 staging system for cervical cancer.

Background: The recently published ASTRO cervical cancer guidelines recommend the use of modern radiotherapy. Imaging is now incorporated in the updated FIGO 2018 staging with a new stage IIIC. This study aims to evaluate the oncologic outcomes and predictors of survival using FIGO 2018 staging in a cohort of patients treated in an era of high-precision image-guided radiotherapy.

Green versus blue: Randomized controlled trial comparing indocyanine green with methylene blue for sentinel lymph node detection in endometrial cancer.

Objective: To ascertain the increase in detection rate of sentinel lymph node (SLN) associated with the use of indocyanine green (ICG) in comparison with methylene blue dye in women with endometrial cancer.

Methods: For this randomized controlled trial, all patients underwent SLN mapping after injection of blue dye on one side of the cervix and ICG on the other side. Randomization was for the side (right vs.

Distinct Histologic, Immunohistochemical and Clinical Features Associated With Serous Endometrial Intraepithelial Carcinoma Involving Polyps.

The origin of serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma (SEIC) is debated, due to its premalignant and independently malignant nature. It often arises next to endometrial serous carcinoma (ESC), with a propensity for polypoid growth. We aimed to better characterize this discrepancy by analyzing the clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical features of polypoid carcinoma associated with SEIC (P-SEIC), and compared them with usual endometrial serous carcinoma without SEIC (UESC).

Error reporting from the da Vinci surgical system in robotic surgery: A Canadian multispecialty experience at a single academic centre.

Introduction: The goal of the study is to evaluate and report on the third-generation da Vinci surgical (Si) system malfunctions.

Methods: A total of 1228 robotic surgeries were performed between January 2012 and December 2015 at our academic centre. All cases were performed by using a single, dual console, four-arm, da Vinci Si robot system.

Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical vulvectomy for adenoid cystic carcinoma of Bartholin's gland: a case report and review of the literature.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of Bartholin's gland is a rare variant and around 90 cases have been reported. Herein, the authors re port a locally advanced ACC of Bartholin's gland that was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by right radical hemi-vulvectomy and reconstruction with a gracilis musculocutanous flap. There was no evidence of recurrence after three years of follow up.

[Management of postpartum haemorrhage].

Today, postpartum hemorrhage remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Medical treatment, various surgical procedures and/or uterine artery embolisation have considerably reduced the risk of hysterectomy. It is important to identify the different risk factors of hemorrhage after delivery and to take the precautions to avoid it.
