Purpose Of Review: To highlight the advances and the data published in the field of gynaecological oncology surgery in the last few years. The review includes not only newly introduced surgical techniques but also data that consolidate recent developments.
Recent Findings: Ultimate data on the use of laparoscopy in the treatment of gynaecologic malignancies have proven similar survival outcomes to the traditional surgical route and confirmed the benefits in terms of faster recovery and lower morbidity. Thanks to a faster learning curve, the use of robotic surgery has contributed to the increase in the number of surgeons who moved away from open surgery. A few pioneers are expanding the indications of laparoscopy to exenterative surgery and treatment of ovarian cancer.
Summary: Laparoscopic surgery has become the gold standard treatment for patients with primary endometrial or cervical cancer. The advent of robotic surgery has reinforced the domain of endoscopic surgery.

Clinicopathological and prognostic factor analyses of primary fallopian tube carcinoma and high-grade serous ovarian cancer: a single-institution retrospective study.
World J Surg Oncol
January 2025
Department of Gynecologic Oncology, Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310006, Zhejiang, China.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinicopathologic features of primary fallopian tubal carcinoma (PFTC) and high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and explore the prognostic factors of these two malignant tumors.
Methods: Fifty-seven patients diagnosed with PFTC from 2006 to 2015 and 60 patients diagnosed with HGSOC from 2014 to 2015 with complete prognostic information were identified at Women's Hospital of Zhejiang University. The clinicopathological and surgical data were collected, and the survival of the patients was followed for 5 years after surgery.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) drive metastasis, the leading cause of death in individuals with breast cancer. Due to their low abundance in the circulation, robust CTC expansion protocols are urgently needed to effectively study disease progression and therapy responses. Here we present the establishment of long-term CTC-derived organoids from female individuals with metastatic breast cancer.

Objectives: We explored how to improve communication about low-risk lesions including labels, language and other strategies.
Design: Qualitative description and thematic analysis to examine the transcripts of telephone interviews with patients who had low-risk lesions and physicians; and mapping to Communication Accommodation Theory to interpret themes.
Setting: Canada PARTICIPANTS: 15 patients: 6 (40%) bladder, 5 (33%) prostate and 4 (27%) cervix lesions; and 13 physicians: 7 (54%) cervix, 3 (23%) bladder and 3 (23%) prostate lesions.
A cell atlas of the human fallopian tube throughout the menstrual cycle and menopause.

The fallopian tube undergoes extensive molecular changes during the menstrual cycle and menopause. We use single-cell RNA and ATAC sequencing to construct a comprehensive cell atlas of healthy human fallopian tubes during the menstrual cycle and menopause. Our scRNA-seq comparison of 85,107 pre- and 46,111 post-menopausal fallopian tube cells reveals substantial shifts in cell type frequencies, gene expression, transcription factor activity, and cell-to-cell communications during menopause and menstrual cycle.
