Purpose: To investigate the recurrence patterns and prognostic factors of patients with recurrent cervical cancer after radical hysterectomy with node dissection (RHND) followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (RT)/concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).

Methods: The medical records of 153 patients with pre-operative International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IB-IIA cervical cancer, who were treated with RHND followed by adjuvant RT/CCRT at the Liaoning Cancer Hospital between January 1, 2012 and May 31, 2018, were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: The median disease progression-free survival time was 16 months, and 75.2% (115/153) of patients had a relapse within two years. The survival of patients with multi-site relapse was significantly lower in comparison to those with relapse in a single site (p < 0.001). The survival rate of patients with distant metastasis (DM) and combined recurrence (DM with localregional recurrence [LR]) was significantly lower than that of patients with only LR (p = 0.006, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the survival rate of patients with combined recurrence was significantly lower than that of patients with only DM (p = 0.046). Multivariate analysis showed that resection margin involvement, para-aortic and common iliac lymph node metastasis, DM, no treatment after disease relapse, and early disease relapse were independent prognostic factors associated with poor survival.

Conclusion: Most of the cervical cancer patients who received initial RHND followed by adjuvant RT/CCRT had a relapse within two years. Resection margin involvement, para-aortic and common iliac lymph node metastasis, DM, no treatment after recurrence, and early disease relapse were found to be prognostic factors in patients with recurrent cervical cancer after RHND followed by adjuvant RT/CCRT.

Background: How common it is with the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the healthy and diseased oral cavity is largely unknown for Africans. In this cross-sectional study we assessed the prevalence of oral HPV and the risk factors associated with HPV contraction including sexual practice in the urban and rural Zambian population.

Methods: Urban (N = 188) and rural (N = 211) Zambian adults aged 21 years and older living in Ndola and Mansa, respectively, were interviewed about demographical data, oral and coital sexual history and tobacco and alcohol use.

To evaluate the impact of open surgical care (OSC) compared to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) on the occurrence of wound infection (WI) and overall postoperative aggregate complications (POACs) in female cervical cancer (CC) patients, we conducted this meta-analysis study. A thorough examination of the literature up to March 2024 was conducted, and 1849 related studies were examined. The 44 studies that were selected included 11,631 females who had CC.

Background: Despite Zambia implementing the World Health Organisation's (WHO) tri-pillar cervical cancer prevention goals 90-70-90 Prevent, Screen, and Treat, cervical cancer claims 2000 lives annually and reigns as the most common cancer among women, especially those living with HIV (WLHIV). Our study describes the national uptake of screening and treatment from the ZAMPHIA 2021 survey.

Methods: Utilising a two-stage cluster sampling approach, the study included participants aged 15 years and older across Zambia's ten provinces.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a prevalent and aggressive gastrointestinal tumor, particularly in East Asia. However, there is a lack of consensus on the long-term survival outcomes of intrathoracic anastomosis and cervical anastomosis following esophagectomy. This study aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the long-term survival outcomes of these two anastomosis techniques.

Postoperative Urinary Complications in Minimally Invasive vs. Abdominal Radical Hysterectomy: A Meta-Analysis with a Focus on Ureterovaginal Fistula.

J Minim Invasive Gynecol

December 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dongwon Cancer Specialized Care Hospital, ILSANRO 439 ILSANDONG-GU GOYANG CITY, GYEONGGI-DO, 10359, Republic of Korea.

Objective: This study aims to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the incidence of specific postoperative urologic complications, such as vesicovaginal fistula and ureterovaginal fistula, in patients undergoing minimally invasive radical hysterectomy (MIRH) versus abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) for early-stage cervical cancer.

Data Sources: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar up to April 2024.

Method: Comparative studies evaluating postoperative urologic complications following MIRH and ARH were included.
