AT-rich interactive domain 1A (ARID1A) and AT-rich interactive domain 1B (ARID1B) are subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin complex. ARID1A is a tumor suppressor gene that is frequently mutated (46%) in ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCC). Los…

Ovarian endometrioid borderline tumors (EBTs) are extremely rare, and are thought to be precursors of endometrioid carcinoma, beginning as adenofibroma or endometriosis and progressing in a slow, stepwise manner. In endometrioid carcinomas,…

This study aimed to describe the long-term outcomes of patients with menorrhagia treated with microwave endometrial ablation (frequency, 2.45 GHz), as well as to identify factors associated with recurrence or re-surgery. This retrospective …

Microwave endometrial ablation (MEA) is effective for the emergency control of uterine hemorrhage. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been only a single report of life-threatening hemorrhage induced by endometrial carcinoma th…
