Ovarian cancer is complex disease composed of different histological grades and types. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in the development of different phenotypes remain largely unknown. Epidemiological studies identifi…

5050 Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) can be subdivided into five major histologic types (Serous(SC), Mucinous(MC), Endometrioid(EC), Clear cell(CC), Undifferentiated (UC)). Among them, CC generally has a poor response to combina…

In Brief Objective To determine the incidence and predictors of risk for operative complications, conversions to laparotomy, and postoperative admissions after laparoscopic procedures. Methods We obtained demographic information on and medi…

OBJECTIVE: To identify an optimal evaluation strategy for patients of various ages and risks for endometrial cancer and for complex hyperplasia who present with a first episode of postmenopausal bleeding. METHODS: We constructed a decision-…

The present case reports the concurrence of endometriosis of the vaginal cuff with endometrial stromal sarcoma in association with high-dose estrogen. This case raises the question of whether chronic high-dose estrogen might be associated w…
