Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urinary tract (utCCA) is a rare, Müllerian-type tumor typically arising in the urethra of female patients with poorly understood pathogenesis. Here, we report the clinical, pathologic, and molecular characte…

ObjectivesMesonephric (MA) and mesonephric-like (MLA) adenocarcinomas are rare cancers, and data on clinical behavior and response to therapy are limited. We sought to report molecular features, treatment, and outcomes of MA/MLA from a sing…

ObjectiveTo assess the impact of short-term postoperative complications on oncologic outcomes for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) or interval cytoreductive surgery (ICS) with intestinal…

•In a bleeding postmenopausal woman with didelphys uterus, endometrial biopsy should be taken from both uterine cavities.•Sentinel lymph node mapping has not been previously described in the setting of endometrial cancer and uterine didelph…

BACKGROUND: Endometrioid epithelial ovarian cancer (EEOC) is rare, and its management poorly defined. We examined factors associated with 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) after surgery for EEOC. METHODS: Retrospective study: treatment…

Sporadic synchronous endometrial (ECs) and ovarian cancers (OCs), although clinically considered to be independent primaries, have been shown to be clonally related and likely constitute metastases from each other. We sought to define wheth…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of an electronic symptom-tracking platform for patients recovering from ambulatory surgery.MethodWe assessed user response to an electronic system designed to self-report symptoms. Endpoints included com…

ObjectiveEndometrioid ovarian carcinomas (EOCs) comprise 5-10% of all ovarian cancers and commonly co-occur with synchronous endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC). We sought to examine the molecular characteristics of pure EOCs in patients …

BackgroundNarrow band imaging (NBI) is an optic filtration enhancement for endoscopy that uses two wavelengths of light (415 and 540 nm) to highlight superficial microvascular patterns. It has been successfully utilized to improve identific…

ObjectiveThe Silva invasion pattern-based classification system stratifies endocervical adenocarcinomas (ECAs) into 3 categories corresponding to risk of metastasis and recurrence, but has only been evaluated for HPV-associated ECAs of usua…

BackgroundWe sought to evaluate the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy on overall survival (OS) in patients with stage I endometrioid epithelial ovarian cancer (EEOC) or ovarian clear cell cancer (OCCC) using a national database.Patients and m…

Historically, cancer treatment has emphasized measures for the "cure" regardless of the long-term consequences. Advances in cancer detection and treatment have resulted in improved outcomes bringing to the fore various quality of life consi…

Because there is no screening test for ovarian cancer, effective prevention strategies may be the best way to reduce the mortality of this most lethal gynecologic malignancy. Increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that the fallopian tu…

PurposeTo determine if second-opinion review of gynaecologic oncologic (GynOnc) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by sub-specialized radiologists impacts patient care.Methods469 second-opinion MRI interpretations rendered by GynOnc radiologi…

ObjectiveRisk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is recommended for women with BRCA mutation due to increased risk of pelvic serous carcinoma. Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) is a pathologic finding of unknown clinical sign…

ObjectiveTo analyze the incidence of diagnostic discrepancy between frozen-section and final diagnosis of the endocervical margin at time of radical trachelectomy and to apply an objective scoring system to non-invasive endocervical glandul…
