The results of an annual prophylactic medical examination were studied in 288 women aged 60-87 years. Primary and repeated visits revealed that 92.9% of the patients had endometrial pathology presented with glandular-fibrous polyps that both recurred and occurred de novo. Adenocarcinomas developing 4-14 years after polypectomy were diagnosed in 7.1% of the women. Focal impairments in the differentiation of an epithelial component of endometrial polyps in their recurrences and repeated development were noted in 97.3% of cases. In 88% of the patients, complaints were absent and recurrent endometrial pathology, including one of three adenocarcinomas, were diagnosed by prophylactic medical examination. The false-positive diagnoses of endometrial pathology by ultrasound study were 5.2%. Hysteroscopy in combination with morphology study should be recognized to be the gold standard for diagnosing pathologic endometrial lesions.

A risk prediction model for endometrial hyperplasia/endometrial carcinoma in premenopausal women.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Gynecology, Chongqing Ninth People's Hospital, 69, Jialing Village, Beibei District, Chongqing, 400700, China.

This study investigated the risk factors for endometrial hyperplasia (EH) and endometrial carcinoma (EC) in premenopausal women. The goal was to establish a nomogram model to predict the risk of EH/EC and quantitative standards in clinical practice, which improved the clinical prognosis of EH/EC patients. Data were collected from premenopausal women with suspected EH/EC who underwent hysteroscopic endometrial biopsy.

Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is a significant cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. Prior research has demonstrated an association between cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2 A (CDKN2A) and various tumors. As a member of the INK4 family, CDKN2A is involved in cell cycle regulation by controlling CDKs.

Objective Endometrial lesions are a frequent complication following breast cancer, and current diagnostic tools have limitations. This study aims to develop a machine learning-based nomogram model for predicting the early detection of endometrial lesions in patients. The model is designed to assess risk and facilitate individualized treatment strategies for premenopausal breast cancer patients.

High correlation between Ki-67 expression and a novel perfusion MRI biomarker diffusion-derived vessel density (DDVD) in endometrial carcinoma.

Magn Reson Imaging

January 2025

Department of Radiology, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital, National Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Tianjin's Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Key Laboratory of Cancer Prevention and Therapy Tianjin, Tianjin, China. Electronic address:

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of diffusion-derived vessel density (DDVD) in characterizing tumor microvasculature in endometrial carcinoma (EC), and to explore the correlations with Ki-67 proliferation status and histological type based on DDVD values.

Methods: There were in total 81 EC patients. There were 64 cases of non-aggressive histological type, and 17 cases of aggressive histological type.

MFAP5 inhibits the malignant progression of endometrial cancer cells .

Open Life Sci

December 2024

Department of Pathology, Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital, No. 150, Haping Road, Harbin, Heilongjiang, 150081, China.

To investigate the biological role of MFAP5 in endometrial cancer (EC). HEC-1-A and Ishikawa cells overexpressing MFAP5 were created. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were evaluated using CCK8, colony formation, flow cytometry, and transwell assays.
