BACKGROUND: Little is known about the oncologic results of patients with low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) with fertility preservation. This study investigated the prognosis of fertility-sparing surgeries and relevant obstetrica…
Endometriosis is a chronic condition with limited therapeutic options. The molecular aberrations promoting ectopic attachment and interactions with the local microenvironment sustaining lesion growth have been unclear, prohibiting developme…
OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the survival differences between uterine and extrauterine low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS). Survival outcomes, consisting of disease-free survivals and overall survivals (OS), were compared in t…
BACKGROUND: The prognosis of recurrent low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is little known. This study was to investigate the survival outcomes of a cohort of patients with recurrent LGESS. METHODS: Patients with primary LGESS di…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the significance of perioperative levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and/or gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) as adjuvant therapy in preventing recurrences or progression of diseas…
PURPOSE: To assess the clinical outcomes and fertility of young women with stage I low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) treated with fertility-sparing surgery. RESULTS: Seventeen patients with stage I low-grade ESS (stage IA, n = 6;…
BACKGROUND: Fertility-sparing surgery is indicated for patients with stage I epithelial ovarian cancers. We sought to evaluate the clinical outcomes and oncofertility in a cohort of patients of reproductive age with stage I epithelial ovari…
PURPOSE: Primary endometrioid stromal sarcomas (ESS) of the ovary are rare mesenchymal tumors with scarce data on their behavior and optimal treatment. We aimed to describe the clinicopathologic features and outcome among patients with prim…
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a distinct histologic subtype with relatively poor survival. No prognostic or predictive molecular marker is currently available. Recent studies have shown that AT-rich interactive domain 1A (ARID1A) an…
OBJECTIVE: To analyze and compare the clinicopathological features and prognosis of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) with or without endometriosis in Chinese patients. DESIGN: Comparative study based on a retrospective review of medical …
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of pure and mixed-type ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) in Chinese patients. METHODS: Patients with ovarian CCC treated in our institution between 1982 and 2012 were…
