Ovarian endometrioma recurrence after laparoscopic surgery: First assessment of ACSAP predicting score.

Purpose: We aimed to develop and validate a predictive score to estimate the post-operative recurrence risk after laparoscopic excision of ovarian endometrioma (OMA).

Patients And Methods: The prediction score was developed using a training set comprising 431 patients with OMA who underwent laparoscopic surgery at our institution between January 2015 and September 2017. A follow-up period of at least 5 years was required.

Association of body composition and systemic inflammation for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer following concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Purpose: Systemic inflammation and body composition are associated with survival outcomes of cancer patients. This study aimed to examine the combined prognostic value of systemic inflammatory markers and body composition parameters in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).

Methods: Patients who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for LACC at a tertiary referral teaching hospital between January 2010 and January 2018 were enrolled.
