AI Article Synopsis
- Congenital absence of the vagina is a rare condition that requires surgical treatment.
- Carcinoma developing in the surgically created neovagina is also uncommon.
- The best approach to treat such cancer remains unclear, and a case study in the Davydov neovagina is discussed along with a literature review.
Article Abstract
Congenital absence of vagina is a very rare anomaly and treatment is surgical. As this anomaly is a rare condition, carcinoma arising in the neovagina is also rare. Optimal treatment of this malignancy has not yet been determined. A carcinoma in the Davydov neovagina is reported upon with a review of the literature.

Purpose: This systematic review aims to provide a data synthesis about the risk of neovaginal cancer in women with Müllerian anomalies and to investigate the association between the adopted reconstructive technique and the cancer histotype.
Methods: PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to March 1st, 2023.
A clinical case of spontaneous rupture of the kidney lesion that occurred after physical exercise is presented in the article. During the examination (ultrasound, multi-slice computed tomography of the kidneys), the diagnosis was unclear, and therefore, the patient underwent surgical treatment. Given the risks of complications and impossibility to exclude the malignancy, a decision was made to perform nephrectomy.

Unlabelled: Estrogens play an extremely important role in regulating the proliferation of ovarian cancer. The estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) stimulates cell growth, whereas ERβ can be attributed to tumor suppressors. The study aims to assess the relationship between the expression of estrogen receptors in tumors and the efficacy of front-line platinum plus taxane chemotherapy in ovarian cancer patients.

Plasma levels of MMP-2, MMP-7, and MMP-9 and their tissue inhibitor TIMP-2 were measured in 89 patients with gastric cancer and the relationship between these parameters and the main clinical morphological characteristics of the disease was analyzed. Plasma levels of the proteins were measured using standard direct ELISA kits. The level of MMP-7 in patients with gastric cancer was significantly higher than in the control group (medians 2.

Background: A lot of clinics worldwide in recent years recommend the use of minimally invasive surgical procedures in the early stages of lung cancer claiming that this technique helps reduce the number of postoperative complications, shortens the period of social rehabilitation of patients, without significantly affecting the long-term results of treatment. In this study we evaluate immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of patients with early stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy (VATS) with mediastinal lymph node dissection.
Materials And Methods: Since 2008 317 patients with T1-2N0M0 NSCLC over 20 (median age was 65.
