Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) comprise 85% of the total lymphomas diagnosed, with the histological type of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) being the most prevalent in adults. In about 40% of cases, the location is extranodal. Uterine cervix lymphomas of this type are extremely rare (0.5-1.5%) and represent a diagnostic challenge. A case of DLBCL of the cervix is presented here along with a review of the literature. A 75-year-old patient was referred with a bleeding vegetant tumour occupying her entire vagina. The histological and pathological investigations performed following the tumour biopsy indicated a malignant, diffuse, vaguely nodular lymphoid tumour proliferation. The immunohistochemistry results were in favour of a diffuse B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (DLBCL). CHOP (Cyclophosphamide, Hydroxydaunorubicin (also called doxorubicin or adriamycin), Oncovin (vincristine), Prednisone or Prednisolone) polychemotherapy and radiotherapy were effective and resulted in tumour regression (from 3.4 cm to tumour disappearance, with the cervix returning to normal size). The uterine cervix lymphoma prognosis is more conservative than that for a nodal lymphoma, mainly due to a later diagnosis determined via immunohistochemistry. Chemotherapy is the main treatment.

Cervical cancer is the most important cancer type found in women throughout the world. Numerous research studies are being performed to investigate the effectiveness of different strategies for the imaging and treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer, which are showing favorable outcomes. Brachytherapy is characterized by the application of very high radiation doses to target tumor cells with the least exposure to normal tissues.

Cervical cancer poses a significant health risk to women. Deep learning methods can assist pathologists in quickly screening images of suspected lesion cells, greatly improving the efficiency of cervical cancer screening and diagnosis. However, existing deep learning methods rely solely on single-scale features and local spatial information, failing to effectively capture the subtle morphological differences between abnormal and normal cervical cells.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) are aggressive sarcomas that occur rarely in the cervix. Considering the varied clinical features and the absence of a pathognomonic immunohistochemical marker, it is always challenging to diagnose these tumours. Treatment has not been standardised as yet, but a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy is used to treat MPNSTs of the cervix.

The aim was to study the effect of long-acting analogue of oxytocin (Carbetocin) on cervical collagenolysis of MAP-eCG synchronized ewes. At the expected time of artificial insemination, five ewes were slaughtered (n = 5) and their cervical explants (100-200 mg) were incubated during 12 h with MEM supplemented with 0, 8, 16, 32 and 64 ng/mL of Cb. Activities of activated and latent forms of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and - 9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9, respectively) in the supernatant were determined by a SDS-PAGE zymography and prostaglandin E2 concentration by immunoassay.

Background: Oncogene-Induced Senescence (OIS) is a form of senescence that occurs as a consequence of oncogenic overstimulation and possibly infection by oncogenic viruses. Whether senescence plays a role in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer (CC) is not well understood. Moreover, whether cervical epithelial cells that are part of the premalignant cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), exhibit markers of OIS in Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-infected tissue, has not been investigated.
