Laparoscopic techniques are slowly gaining acceptance in gynecologic oncology. Usage in early stage endometrial and ovarian cancer and in the evaluation of suspicious adnexal masses is increasing, but large prospective series have not been performed. Laparoscopic procedures carry a steep learning curve and there are a limited number of centers currently performing these procedures for oncologic indications. It seems clear, however, that for the well-selected patient, in experienced hands, laparoscopic procedures in gynecologic oncology offer many potential benefits.

Objective: We attempted to evaluate the immediate high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion-cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 or worse (HSIL-CIN2+/3+, hereafter referred to as CIN2+/3+) risk of specific human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype and form the precise risk-based triage strategy for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) women.

Methods: The clinical data of ASC-US women who underwent HPV genotyping testing and colposcopy were retrospectively reviewed. The distribution and CIN2+/3+ risks of specific HPV genotype were assessed by three approaches.

Objectives: Epithelial ovarian cancer is a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality in women, frequently recurring post-treatment, often accompanied by chemotherapy resistance. Dietary interventions have demonstrated influence on cancer progression; for instance, caloric restriction has exhibited tumor growth reduction and enhanced survival in animal cancer models. In this study, we calculated a transcriptomic signature based on caloric-restriction for ovarian cancer patients and explored its correlation with ovarian cancer progression.
