OBJECTIVE: Although artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being applied to ultrasound imaging in gynecology, efforts to synthesize the available evidence have been inadequate. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and ev…
Background: Minimally invasive surgery is the gold standard treatment for deep endometriosis when medical management fails. In selected cases, such as when bowel or urinary tract are involved, robotic assisted surgery can be useful due to i…
Uterine fibroids have an impact on women's lives due to their high prevalence, physical symptoms, their consequences on patients' emotional and psychological well-being and loss of work productivity. The choice of therapeutical approaches v…
Background: Deep endometriosis (DE) usually creates a distortion of the retroperitoneal anatomy and may infiltrate the parametria with an oncomimetic pathway similar to cervical cancer. The condition represents a severe manifestation of end…
OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of ovarian pure endometrioid carcinomas. METHODS: This was a retrospective multicenter study of patients with a histological diagnosis of pure endometrioid carcinoma. We ide…
OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of ovarian pure clear cell carcinoma. METHODS: This was a retrospective study involving data from 11 ultrasound centers. From the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA)…
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether routine examination of the ureters on transvaginal sonography (TVS) can identify reliably potential silent ureteral involvement by endometriosis and should therefore be recommended in all patients with deep infi…
BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a complex disease that impairs the quality of life and the fertility of women. Since a medical approach is often insufficient, a minimally invasive approach is considered the gold standar…
OBJECTIVES: To describe sonographic characteristics of malignant transformation in endometrioid cysts. METHODS: Women with a histological diagnosis of ovarian endometrioid cysts, borderline tumors arising in endometrioid cysts and carcinom…
The discovery of an ovarian mass during pregnancy is often a difficult issue because of the risk related to surgical intervention during pregnancy. Moreover, ultrasound examination is often unable to provide a definitive diagnosis. A case o…
Fourteen patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma (FIGO stages III-IV) resistant to cisplatin were submitted to an alternating regimen with doxorubicin (A), cyclophosphamide (C), bleomycin (B) and mitomycin C (M). All patients had measurabl…
Between March 1986 and March 1989, 65 epithelial ovarian carcinomas were studied by means of real time high resolution ultrasound. The sonographic findings were correlated with FIGO stage, histotype and histological grade. The echostructure…
Serum levels of TAG 72 were measured in 726 serum samples from patients with benign and malignant gynaecological conditions in order to evaluate the clinical usefulness of TAG 72 alone or in combination with other tumour markers. Sixty-six …
Serum levels of CA125 and 90K, a new tumor-associated antigen, were measured in 73 ovarian cancer patients and 70 patients with benign gynecological conditions. Abnormally high serum CA 125 and 90K levels were found in 49% and 78% of these …
