Aim: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping using indocyanine green (ICG) is an alternative for reducing comprehensive lymph node dissection and its associated morbidity. This trial aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of ICG for SLN detection in patients with cervical and endometrial cancers at a single academic teaching hospital.

Methods: This single-arm, open-label trial conducted at Chiba University Hospital included patients with endometrial or cervical cancer, aged 20-70 years, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1.

Objective: Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MNs) are often fatal and arise as late complications of previous anticancer drug treatment. No single-center case series has examined t-MNs in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

Methods: All patients with EOC treated at Chiba University Hospital between 2000 and 2021 were included.

We conducted a phase Ib study to examine the safety of a combination of carbon-ion RT (CIRT) with durvalumab (MEDI4736; AstraZeneca) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. This was an open-label, single-arm study with a modified 3 + 3 design. Patients with newly diagnosed histologically proven locally advanced cervical cancer were enrolled.

Objectives: We investigated prospectively whether, in cervical cancer (CC) treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), the Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram and texture parameters and their change rates during treatment could predict prognosis.

Methods: Fifty-seven CC patients treated with CCRT at our institution were included. They underwent MRI scans up to four times during the treatment course (1st, before treatment [n = 41], 2nd, at the start of image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) [n = 41], 3rd, in the middle of IGBT [n = 27], 4th, after treatment [n = 53]).

We describe a 46-year-old woman who developed multiple cerebral infarctions in the left middle cerebral artery territory and deep vein thrombosis, presumably related to uterine adenomyosis. Uterine adenomyosis can cause coagulation abnormalities, as observed in Trousseau's syndrome. Along with previous reports, our case experienced a stroke during menstruation and presented with increased cancer antigen 125 (CA125) levels.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of head-down tilt on airway pressure in gynecologic patients with obesity during robot-assisted hysterectomy.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 27 patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m who underwent robot-assisted hysterectomy for endometrial cancer and endometrial atypical hyperplasia using the da Vinci Xi system. Mechanical ventilation was performed using pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV).

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of pulmonary embolism (PE) before cancer therapies in patients with ovarian and endometrial cancers with enhanced computed tomography (CT) using D-dimer (DD), and determine the optimal cut-off level of DD.

Methods: Since 2009, we have performed preoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) screening of patients with ovarian and endometrial cancer. For patients with DD levels of more than 1.

Objective: The present study investigated long-term outcomes of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) plus metformin therapy in terms of control of atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) and endometrial cancer (EC), and post-treatment conception.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 63 patients (42 with EC; 21 with AEH) who underwent fertility-sparing management using MPA plus metformin. MPA (400 mg/day) and metformin (750-2,250 mg/day) were administered to achieve complete response (CR).
