Platelets are reprogrammed by cancer via a process called education, which favors cancer development. The transcriptional profile of tumor-educated platelets (TEPs) is skewed and therefore practicable for cancer detection. This intercontine…
BACKGROUND: Pregnancy with an adnexal mass is one of the most common complications during pregnancy and clinicians are sometimes caught in a dilemma concerning the decision to be made regarding clinical management. OBJECTIVES: The objectiv…
Ovarian fibroma/fibrothecoma with elevated serum OC125 antigen (CA125) is rarely encountered in clinical practice, and also easily misdiagnosed as epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopatho…
BACKGROUND: Most cervical cancer patients worldwide receive surgical treatments, and yet the current International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system do not consider surgical-pathologic data. We propose a more com…

The growth features of cells from endometriomas biopsied from patients who had been treated with Danazol or with hormones have not been studied in vitro. Danazol is a versatile drug and despite its recognised efficacy in controlling endomet…
The cells from entopic and ectopic endometrial tissues were primarily cultured in collagen gel and passaged for secondary culture. The grown cells were treated respectively with danazol (2.5 micrograms/ml and 5 micrograms/ml) and without da…
