In 2014, FIGO's Committee for Gynecologic Oncology revised the staging of ovarian cancer, incorporating ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer into the same system. Most of these malignancies are high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs)…

IntroductionMany advances in the understanding of the pathologic and molecular features of endometrial cancer have occurred since the FIGO staging was last updated in 2009. Substantially more outcome and biological behavior data are now ava…

OBJECTIVE: To report long-term mortality after oophorectomy or ovarian conservation at the time of hysterectomy in subgroups of women based on age at the time of surgery, use of estrogen therapy, presence of risk factors for coronary heart …

There have been major advances in our understanding of the cellular and molecular biology of the human malignancies that are collectively referred to as ovarian cancer. At a recent Helene Harris Memorial Trust meeting, an international grou…

The National Center for Health Statistics report that in 2004, of the 617,000 ­hysterectomies performed in the USA, 73% also involved the surgical removal of the ovaries. In the United States, by age 60, about 1/3 of women undergo a hystere…

OBJECTIVE: To report long-term health outcomes and mortality after oophorectomy or ovarian conservation. METHODS: We conducted a prospective, observational study of 29,380 women participants of the Nurses' Health Study who had a hysterectom…

OBJECTIVE: To review the risks and benefits of elective oophorectomy and to make a clinical recommendation for an appropriate age when benefits of this procedure outweigh the risks. DESIGN: The risks and benefits of oophorectomy as detailed…

Fine-needle aspiration cytology has received little attention by physicians involved in the care of gynecologic oncology patients. Concerns over diagnostic accuracy and complications such as rupture of cystic ovarian tumors with resultant t…

BACKGROUND: Benign glandular inclusion cysts occurring within lymph nodes have been well described in the literature. However, the malignant potential of these glands is unknown. One previous case report described an adenoacanthoma arising …

Ten cases of malignant tumors arising in foci of gonadal and extragonadal endometriosis are reported and added to 195 previously reported cases from the English literature. The ovary was the primary site in 165 (78.7%) of the cases, whereas…

Endometrial cancer is currently the commonest pelvic malignancy affecting American women, most of whom share the same pathophysiologic basis, that is, unopposed estrogenic stimulation. The initial result of hyperestrogenism is the developme…

In endometrial cancer, early detection is usually facilitated by the onset of abnormal bleeding: Despite this, patients at times evidence considerable delay between onset of abnormal bleeding and seeking medical care. The current study of 3…

Between 1974 and 1984, 70 patients underwent primary cytoreductive surgery for ovarian carcinoma at the University of California at Los Angeles. During the period of January 1974 to December 1978, optimal cytoreduction was achieved in 56.4%…
