Frequency and disposition of ovarian abnormalities followed with serial transvaginal ultrasonography.

Objective: To examine the prevalence, incidence, persistence, and resolution of ovarian abnormalities using serial transvaginal ultrasonography.

Methods: A group of 39,337 women in the University of Kentucky Ovarian Cancer Screening Program were monitored with 221,576 baseline and interval transvaginal ultrasonography.

Results: The transvaginal ultrasonogram was normal for first and all subsequent visits for 31,834 participants (80.

Ovarian cancer screening--what women want.

Background: The attitude of women with regard to the threat of ovarian cancer and toward screening for this disease is undefined.

Objective: To examine the 30-day moving results of a poll presented to women with a brief instructional component about ovarian cancer.

Methods: A poll was incorporated into the information page (http://ovarianscreening.

Small cell carcinoma of the ovary of hypercalcemic type: a case report.

The authors report a case of small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), in a mother and daughter and discuss the possibility of a heritable risk. Both mother and daughter were treated at the same institution for SCCOHT. A 23-year-old woman presented with hypercalcemia 4 months after giving birth to her daughter.

Selective inguinal lymphadenectomy in the treatment of invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva.

En bloc radical vulvectomy with bilateral inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy has now been replaced by radical wide excision and selective inguinal lymphadenectomy based on the stage and location of invasive vulvar cancer. Early stage lateral cancers can be effectively treated by radical wide excision and ipsilateral superficial inguinal lymphadenectomy. Lymph node mapping using perilesional injection of radiocolloid and blue dye may identify sentinel lymph nodes which can be removed, thereby avoiding the morbidity of full inguinal lymphadenectomy in selected patients with early stage disease.

Long-term survival of women with epithelial ovarian cancer detected by ultrasonographic screening.

Objective: To estimate the effect of ultrasonographic screening on stage at detection and long-term disease-specific survival of women with epithelial ovarian cancer.

Methods: Eligibility included all asymptomatic women aged 50 years and older and women aged 25 years and older with a documented family history of ovarian cancer. From 1987 to 2011, 37,293 women received annual ultrasonographic screening.

Risk of malignancy in sonographically confirmed septated cystic ovarian tumors.

Objective: To determine the risk of malignancy in septated cystic ovarian tumors.

Materials: 1319 (4.4%) of 29,829 women were identified by transvaginal sonography (TVS) as having a complex cystic ovarian tumor with septations without solid areas or papillary projections and were placed on long-term ultrasound surveillance for ovarian malignancy.
