Older age is one of the leading risk indicators for advanced breast cancer. It is critical to extensively investigate how aging affects breast cancer, considering the increasing rate of population aging. Human body aging and death are cause…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (PDT) for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. METHODS: In this study, 1…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate various body fat indicators under weight management on the time to complete response (CR) in overweight patients undergoing fertility-sparing treatment for endometrial cancer (EC) or atypical hyperplasia (AEH). METHOD…
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is resistant to chemotherapy, with limited treatment options for advanced and recurrent disease. The prevalence of OCCC differs by region. Assessing the expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1…
PURPOSE: Emerging evidence suggests that an abnormal endometrial microbiota may be a potential factor contributing to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). This study aimed to characterize the endometrial microbiota in patients with RPL and to ex…
Cancer is a highly deadly disease, with breast cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer being the most prevalent in women. However, traditional cancer treatments present challenges due to their strong toxic side effec…
BACKGROUND: The human endometrium is a regenerative tissue relying on stem/progenitor cells. Endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSCs) are typically enriched using perivascular markers like CD140b and CD146. However, the identity of more p…
Understanding human endometrial dynamics in the establishment of endometrial receptivity remains a challenge, which limits early diagnosis and treatment of endometrial-factor infertility. Here, we decode the endometrial dynamics of fertile …
PURPOSE: This study investigated the clinicopathological features and surgical procedures of adnexal masses with abdominal pain in pediatric and adolescent patients. Our objective was to better define the clinical presentation of adnexal to…
BACKGROUND: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) encompasses a range of cervical lesions that are closely linked to cervical invasive carcinoma. Early detection and timely treatment of CIN are crucial for preventing the progression of t…

BACKGROUND: While the majority of COVID-19 patients fully recover from the infection and become asymptomatic, a significant proportion of COVID-19 survivors experience a broad spectrum of symptoms lasting weeks to months post-infection, a p…
OBJECTIVES: We aims to develop nomograms to predict progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) after primary treatment and compare the predictive accuracy with the currentl…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the pharmacological mechanism of a Chinese patent drug (Kunling Pill (KLP)) on improving diminished ovarian reserve based on proteomic analysis. METHODS: A total of 18 patients divided into three groups (the normal ov…
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to explore the rate of upstaging after complete surgical staging among patients with apparent FIGO stage I ovarian mucinous carcinoma. METHODS: Ovarian mucinous carcinoma patients with surgical treatmen…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cancer is an important disease and can occur anywhere in the body. It is caused by uncontrolled cell growth that spreads to other body parts. This study extensively investigated the transmembrane receptor tissue fa…
Communication between maternal uterus and blastocyst occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, and the interaction influences the success of embryo implantation. Whereas small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play an essential role in mediating…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and prognosis of fertility-sparing re-treatment on patients with recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) and atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) who wish to preserve their uterus after complete remission (CR…
OBJECTIVE: Data on the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer (OC) and associated cerebral infarction (CI) are extremely limited. The objectives were to investigate the risk factors for prognosis in patients with OC and associated CI. M…
