The authors report three cases of endometrial ossification. They believe that the presence of bone in the uterus is associated with two very distinct situations. One is the retention in utero of fragments of foetal bone after a late abortion. In this case, the bone fragments have a recognisable morphology and a well differentiated structure. The other situation is osseous metaplasia of elements which they believe to be of Mullerian origin, arising in the myo-endometrial transitional zone.

Background: Black women and other minorities have higher age adjusted incidence risk for cervical and endometrial cancer than White women. However, the extent of racial and ethnic disparities in clinical trial enrollment among studies performed mainly in North America and Europe for gynecologic malignancy is unknown.

Objective: This study analyzed enrollment rates by race/ethnicity in trials that led to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals for gynecological cancers from 2010 to 2024.

Endometrial cancer (EC) incidence and mortality have been steadily rising globally over recent decades. The introduction of advanced molecular technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) alongside the FIGO 2023 classification, presents opportunities for refined diagnostics and risk stratification. This study aimed to analyze differences in EC classification among oncology centers in southeastern Poland.

Unlocking a Decade of Research on Embryo-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: Discoveries Made and Paths Ahead.

Over the past decade, research on embryo-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) has unveiled their critical roles in embryonic development and intercellular communication. EVs secreted by embryos are nanoscale lipid bilayer vesicles that carry bioactive cargo, including proteins, lipids, RNAs, and DNAs, reflecting the physiological state of the source cells. These vesicles facilitate paracrine and autocrine signaling, influencing key processes such as cell differentiation, embryo viability, and endometrial receptivity.

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.
