BACKGROUND: There is currently no reliable serum biomarker for ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC), a highly lethal histological subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Previously, using a proteome-based approach, we identified tissue fa…
BackgroundWe previously developed a new plasma amino acid profile-based index (API) to detect ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers. Here, we compared API to serum cancer antigen 125 (CA125) for distinguishing epithelial ovarian malign…
An incarcerated gravid uterus is an uncommon complication of pregnancy. On rare occasions, an incarcerated gravid uterus resolves spontaneously even in the third trimester of pregnancy. Severe abdominal pain might be caused by spontaneous r…
AIM: The aim of this study was to elucidate the risk of poor pregnancy outcomes in women with adenomyosis by comparing their outcomes to those of women without uterine abnormalities. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The subjects were 36 women diagnose…
Hemorrhagic ascites caused by endometriosis is extremely rare, and its treatment is under discussion. We report a case of recurrent endometriosis-related ascites treated with dienogest (DNG). A 35-year-old nulliparous Japanese woman with a …
) levels suggest the presence of potential follicles. The EFS is a rare condition with an incidence of 0.5-7 % of women undergoing IVF treatments. Although there are many hypotheses as to the cause of EFS, including advanced ovarian age, dr…
Ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCC) is the second most common subtype of ovarian cancer after high-grade serous adenocarcinomas. CCC tends to develop resistance to the standard platinum-based chemotherapy, and has a poor prognosis when …
Of all of the epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC), clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) has the worst clinical prognosis. Furthermore, the conventional EOC biomarker CA125 is more often negative in CCA than in other subtypes of EOC. This study soug…
Inflammatory cells play important roles in progression of solid neoplasms including ovarian cancers. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) contribute to angiogenesis and immune suppression by modulating microenvironment. Ovarian cancer develo…
OBJECTIVES: Carcinogenesis of the ovary is often associated with endometriosis. We previously demonstrated that antitumor chemokine receptor CXCR3 was upregulated both in endometriosis and ovarian cancers. Currently, little is known about t…
We report a rare case in which a cystic lesion in the cervix, caused by endometriosis, resulted in a massive vaginal hemorrhage. Cervical endometriosis is relatively common and is usually considered a mild condition. However, we report a ca…
Aim: To determine the best treatment for unexplained infertility. Methods: A retrospective study was used to examine Japanese women with unexplained infertility that had undergone laparoscopy. The main outcome measure of the study was the…
PROBLEM: Our aim was to investigate endometrial antigens involved in the autoimmunity of endometriosis. METHOD: We detected endometrial antigens against which autoantibodies directed with Western blotting. RESULTS: Thirteen (72.2%), 14 (77.…
