Background and objectivesGREB1-rearranged uterine tumours encompass a group of uterine mesenchymal tumours with varied histologic appearances. The fusion partners to GREB1 include NCOA1-3, SS18 and NR4A3. Given that some GREB1-rearranged ut…

This study aims to analyze the types and cost of infertility care provided in a clinical setting to examine the changes of healthcare utilization for infertility after the 2017 launch of assisted reproductive technology (ART) health insuran…

Adenomyosis is a condition characterised by the invasion of endometrial tissues into the uterine myometrium, the molecular pathogenesis of which remains incompletely elucidated. Lesion profiling with next-generation sequencing (NGS) can lea…

Cancer is one of the most common causes of death globally. Despite extensive research and considerable advances in cancer therapy, the fundamentals of the disease remain unclear. Understanding the key signaling mechanisms that cause cancer …

Background/aimShort-term feasibility and safety of single-port total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) compared with conventional multi-port TLH have been previously demonstrated. However, recent studies are insufficient. This study aimed to …

Synchronous endometrial and ovarian carcinomas (SEOCs) that share the same endometrioid histology are generally considered as the result of metastatic spread from one organ to another. However, SEOCs with different histologies are regarded …

BACKGROUND: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is frequently associated with endometriosis. Since serum levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) have limited diagnostic and prognostic value in this malignancy, there is an unmet need for reliab…

OBJECTIVE: Serum antimüllerian hormone (sAMH) is regarded as a useful marker in predicting for ovarian functional reserve. To evaluate whether postoperative change in ovarian reserve differs between robotic-assisted and laparoscopic single-…

To compare the genetic distributions of 14G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between women with and without uterine adenomyosis. The study population comprised 69 Korean women. Uterine tissues from …

OBJECTIVE: We have recently reported that stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1) is over-expressed in endometriosis/adenomyosis tissues. STIP1 may also be involved in immune regulation, thus we attempted to study the association between ST…

Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BMPM) is rare and difficult to diagnose before surgery. We report a case of BMPM incidentally discovered during laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) for treatment of a pelvic mass. A 47-yea…

Stress-induced phosphoprotein-1 (STIP1), an adaptor protein that coordinates the functions of HSP70 and HSP90 in protein folding, has been implicated in the development of human gynecologic malignancies. This case-control study investigates…

BACKGROUND: This aim of this case report is to raise awareness of ureteral endometriosis in women of reproductive age with hydronephrosis in the absence of urolithiasis to enable early diagnosis and prevent loss of renal function. CASE PRES…

Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare disease entity typically presenting as multiple extrauterine leiomyomas associated with a uterine leiomyoma. It has been hypothesized that the extrauterine leiomyomata represent distant metasta…

IntroductionSingle-port total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) has not been widely used because of its technical difficulty and steep learning curve, especially the laparoscopic suturing of the vaginal stump. Barbed suturing is a new technol…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To determine the long-term efficacy of laparoscopic or robotic adenomyomectomy with or without gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) for the treatment of severely symptomatic adenomyosis. METHODS: Between August 2008 and Ma…

Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1 (BAI1)-associated protein 2-like 1 (BAIAP2L1), also known as insulin receptor tyrosine kinase substrate (IRTKS), is involved in plasma membrane protrusion and actin formation during cell morphogenesis…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate single-port assisted extracorporeal cystectomy for treatment of large ovarian cysts and to compare its surgical outcomes, complications, and cystic content spillage rates with those of conventional laparoscopy a…

BackgroundMicroRNA (miRNA) expression is known to be deregulated in cervical carcinomas. However, no data is available about the miRNA expression pattern for the minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA) of uterine cervix. We sought to detect …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and effects on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of radical excision of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in the cul-de-sac. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included 390 patients with pathologic…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to validate and investigate the clinical value of urinary enolase I in patients with endometriosis. METHODS: Urine samples of 39 patients with histologically confirmed endometriosis and 20 patients withou…

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common and important primary cutaneous malignancy. On skin biopsies, SCC is characterized by significant squamous cell atypia, abnormal keratinization, and invasive features. Diagnostic challenges may occa…

Endometriosis is determined by genetic factors, and the prevalence of genetic polymorphisms varies greatly depending on the ethnic group studied. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between single nucleotide poly…

This workshop was held on July 31-August 1, 2010 and was organized to promote the academic environment and to enhance the communication among Asian countries prior to the 2nd biennial meeting of Australian Society of Gynaecologic Oncologist…

The percutaneous placement of a totally implantable vascular access port via the subclavian vein is commonly used in patients with a need for multiple intravenous infusions such as administration of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the use of c…
