Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) has been suggested as an alternative approach for these women. Our study aimed to review the literature regarding the application of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) in OC patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Data source: Articles in the English language were searched in PubMed. Search terms included “PIPAC” and “ovarian cancer”. Methods of study selection: The authors evaluated all studies presenting an application of pressurised intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) on ovarian cancer patients. The published guidelines for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) were followed in the present systematic review which was performed based on the authors’ predetermined inclusion criteria. Tabulation: Table 1 presents the main characteristics and outcomes of the OC patients undergoing PIPAC. Integration: Study selection and data extraction were independently undertaken by two reviewers. Results: 235 patients from 15 studies retrieved from PubMed were included. Conclusions: Our results indicate that PIPAC is efficient and safe in selected OC patients with PC not responding to systemic chemotherapy. The toxicity is manageable and the quality of life sustained. Further, randomised controlled trials are warranted to confirm our findings.","PeriodicalId":11903,"journal":{"name":"European journal of gynaecological oncology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46345730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A systematic review of the literature concerning the role of HS and SIS for evaluation of the endometrium in tamoxifen-treated breast cancer patients was performed. We searched MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, IBECS, BIOSIS, Web of Science, SCOPUS, congress abstracts, and Grey literature (Google Scholar; British Library). The search terms used were “hysteroscopy”, “hysterosonography”, “sonohysterography” combined with “tamoxifen”; 89 citations were identified and selected in the initial screening. Results: 28 studies were included in the systematic review. There were 61 citations excluded because they were review articles (n = 9) or case report (n = 5) and non-English articles (n = 8), and had too little information in the full text (n = 39). Similar accuracy between SIS and HS in detection of endometrial tamoxifen-related lesions was found. Conclusions: SIS may represent a minimally invasive, simple, safe, well-tolerated and cost-effective alternative to HS, associated with few contraindications and no potential complications.","PeriodicalId":11903,"journal":{"name":"European journal of gynaecological oncology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45472687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incidence of endometrial cancer is rising and can be attributed, in part, to the ongoing obesity epidemic. The surgical management of endometrial cancer in women with class III obesity, defined as those with a body mass index (BMI) ≥40 kg/m, can be particularly challenging. Case(s): We report the early experience of panniculectomy as an adjunct to endometrial cancer staging surgery in Northern Ireland (NI). We outline the generic surgical approach and report the outcomes of the first four cases undertaken. We discuss the important role that panniculectomy holds in the surgical management of endometrial cancer in women with III obesity. Conclusion: The initial experience, in NI, of panniculectomy as an adjunct to endometrial cancer staging surgery greatly facilitated surgical exposure and allowed adequate surgical staging to be performed. In carefully selected cases, the surgical procedure can be completed safely and effectively with greater ease.","PeriodicalId":11903,"journal":{"name":"European journal of gynaecological oncology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47151284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Fifty-four cases were retrospectively analyzed from at the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. Imaging and serological indicators were used to determine whether disease recurred, to evaluate progression-free survival, and to compare the influence of related factors on disease recurrence. SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05. Results: The median age at initial treatment was 21 years (range, 11–52 years). Six patients had extragonadal endodermal sinus tumor, and four had histological features of endodermal sinus tumor combined with embryonal carcinoma. Thirty-nine patients underwent fertility-preserving surgery, 18 patients had a childbearing history, and eight patients had residual tumor after initial treatment. Twenty-six patients had a tumor diameter of more than 15 cm, and 30 patients had a serum α‑fetoprotein level greater than 10,000 ng/mL before initial management. The median follow-up time was 47.5 months (range, 14–212 months). During follow-up, 15 patients experience recurrence, with a recurrence rate of 27.8% and a 5-year PFS rate of 61.1%. In univariate analysis, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage (stage III-IV VS. I-II; HR= 10.054 p<0.001), residual tumor (yes VS. no for the first surgery; HR=5.014 p=0.001), histological features (endodermal sinus tumor combined with embryonal carcinoma VS. endodermal sinus tumor; HR=4.130 p=0.018), and use of platinum-based chemotherapy (courses≥3 VS. courses<3; HR= 0.188 p=0.004) were independent factors influencing recurrence; age, childbearing history, tumor site, tumor size, and serum α-fetoprotein level before initial management did not affect recurrence. In multivariate analysis, only stage was an independent risk factor for progression-free survival(stage III-IV VS. I-II; HR=6.923 p=0.019). Conclusions: Stage is a prognostic factor for recurrence of pelvic endodermal sinus tumor. The first surgery should remove the tumor as completely as possible, and initial treatment should require a sufficient dose and full course of platinum-based chemotherapy, which may reduce the recurrence rate. Patients with endodermal sinus tumor and embryonal carcinoma may have increased susceptibility of recurrence.","PeriodicalId":11903,"journal":{"name":"European journal of gynaecological oncology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41549283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results: Among the 657 patients, 26.5% were diagnosed with VaIN 2/3. The proportions of patients with VaIN 2/3 among those who did and did not undergo hysterectomy were 39.5% and 24.7%, respectively. The sensitivity of cytology for VaIN in those with only VaIN, VaIN concomitant with cervical or vulvar lesions, and posthysterectomy VaIN was 56.7%, 66.5%, and 72.3%, respectively. The sensitivity of hrHPV for VaIN in the same categories was 87.7%, 86.5%, and 74.3%, respectively. The sensitivity of cytology and hrHPV cotesting for VaIN in the same categories was 95.2%, 95.6%, and 95.0%, respectively. In patients who did not undergo hysterectomy, HPV16 was detected in 9.5% of VaIN 1 lesions among the HPV DNA-positive patients, while the other 12 types of HPV were detected in 62.6% of VaIN 1 lesions. In patients who underwent hysterectomy, HPV16 was detected in 2.1% of VaIN 1 lesions, and the other 12 types of HPV were detected in 54.2% of VaIN 1 lesions.Conclusions: A combination of cytology and colposcopy could increase the sensitivity of the diagnosis of VaIN.
