Background/aim: During ovarian cancer (OC) debulking surgery, the surgeon can examine the peritoneal cavity for malignant cancer cells with peritoneal washing (PW) cytology. The goal of this study was to examine the significance of peritoneal washing as a prognostic indicator for ovarian cancer patients.
Patients And Methods: Information considering the prognostic factors of OC and their impact in PW's result was collected, compared, and combined.
Results: Omental metastasis, tumor type, tumor invasion, tumor size, tumor grade/ stage, tumor's cytoreduction, and recurrence affect both the peritoneal washing result and the patient's prognosis. The correlation that most of the above factors have with a positive PW and dismal prognosis, led us to the assumption that PW has a significance as a prognostic indicator.
Conclusion: The significance of PW as a prognostic indicator remains an assumption.

Objective: Based on the machine learning algorithm, construct a hypothermia prediction model for gynecological tumor resection under laparoscopic general anesthesia.
Methods: This research conducted a retrospective analysis, gathering data from individuals who had undergone minimally invasive surgical procedures for gynecological tumors in a Chinese Hospital, ranging from June 2018 to August 2024. During this timeframe, a total of 308 cases were examined for analysis, with 70% of the cases allocated to the modeling dataset and the remaining 30% designated for the validation dataset.
Prognostic significance of right subdiaphragmatic washing cytology in patients with endometrial cancer.

Cancer cells in the right subdiaphragmatic lavage may reflect peritoneal dissemination, but its prognostic significance is unknown. This study investigated recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and recurrence patterns in patients with curatively resected endometrial cancer by cytology collection site. Peritoneal cytology was collected at the beginning of surgery by washing the pelvic and right subdiaphragmatic cavity separately.

Gastric cancer is a significant global contributor to cancer-related mortality. Stage IV gastric cancer represents a significant percentage of patients in Western countries, with peritoneal dissemination being the most prevalent site. Peritoneal disease comprises two distinct entities, macroscopic (P1) and microscopic (P0CY1), which are associated with poor long-term survival rates.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of NETosis in the initiation of lupus using a mouse model.
- Mice injected with pristane showed significantly more activated neutrophils and low-density granulocytes, as well as increased release of neutrophil extracellular traps compared to the control group.
- These findings suggest that early activation of neutrophils and NETosis may contribute to the development of lupus in this model.
