PURPOSE: To examine the utilization and characteristics related to the use of hysteroscopy at the time of endometrial evaluation for endometrial hyperplasia in the outpatient surgery setting. METHODS: This cross-sectional study queried the…
PURPOSE: High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most lethal epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and is often diagnosed at late stage. In women with a known pelvic mass, surgery followed by pathologic assessment is the most reliable …
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between hospital surgical volume and perioperative mortality of pelvic exenteration performed for gynecologic malignancies. METHODS: A population-based retrospective study utilizing the…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The findings of previous studies have been inconsistent as to whether benign hysterectomy via minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery increases the risk of vesicoureteral injury when compared with laparotomy. The objectives…
OBJECTIVE: To profile patient characteristics associated with and outcomes of ovarian conservation at the time of hysterectomy in young women with minimal-risk endometrial cancer. METHODS: A population-based retrospective analysis of the N…
OBJECTIVE: To examine changes in performance and outcomes of pelvic exenteration for gynecologic malignancies. METHODS: This is a population-based retrospective study examining the Nationwide Inpatient Sample between 2001 and 2015. Women w…
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between ovarian conservation and oncologic outcome in surgically-treated young women with early-stage, low-grade endometrial cancer. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective study examined women aged <5…
PURPOSE: While adenomyosis is one of the most common benign histologic findings in hysterectomy specimens of endometrial cancer, demographics of endometrial cancer arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA) has not been well elucidated. The aim of thi…
OBJECTIVE: To describe the association between postmenopausal estrogen-only therapy use and risk of ovarian carcinoma, specifically with regard to disease histotype and duration and timing of use. METHODS: We conducted a pooled analysis of…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to identify risk factors associated with laparotomy conversion during total laparoscopic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. METHODS: This is a retrospective study examining endometrial cancer cases tha…
BACKGROUND: The molecular biology and cellular origins of mixed type endometrial carcinomas (MT-ECs) are poorly understood, and a Type II component of 10 percent or less may confer poorer prognoses. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We studi…
BACKGROUND: In U.S. women, lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is 1.37%, but some women are at a substantially lower or higher risk than this average. METHODS: We have characterized the distribution of lifetime risk in the general population. …
BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA) is a rare entity of endometrial cancer, and its clinical significance has not been well studied. This study aimed to examine the tumor characteristics and survival outcomes of E…
BACKGROUND: To examine the effects of adenomyosis on tumor progression and survival outcome of endometrial cancer patients. METHODS: This is a retrospective study examining stage I-IV endometrial cancer patients who underwent hysterectomy-…
