BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is a common malignancy in the female reproductive system with a high mortality rate. The most important reason is multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer chemotherapy. To reduce side effects, reverse resistance and i…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the combined efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) and the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for the treatment of severe adenomyosis…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to evaluate and compare the differences in the clinicopathological variables and overall survival (OS) of synchronous primary cancers of the endometrium and ovary (SCEO) and endometrial cancer with ovaria…

BACKGROUND: The role of γδ T cells, innate-like lymphocytes with unrestrained MHC, in various malignancies has recently been extensively studied. However, there is limited research regarding γδ T cells in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. METH…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena) in the treatment of adenomyosis. METHODS: The clinical data of 75 patients with adenomyosis who had Mirena insertion in Women'…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of GnRHa on adenomyosis by transvaginal elastography. METHODS: A prospective observational study included patients who were diagnosed as adenomyosis by conventional transvaginal ultrasound and infertility.…

Objective: To compare the clinicopathological features and chemotherapy response of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and endometrioid carcinoma (EC) associated with endometriosis or not. Methods: This was a retrospective study of 128 pati…
