OBJECTIVE: To determine whether large language models (LLMs) can automatically extract organ-level disease involvement to populate the Surgical Findings section of the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) Operative Report for …

Deep infiltrating endometriosis and oncologic radical pelvic surgeries pose a significant risk of nerve damage. A thorough understanding of pelvic anatomy is essential for surgical precision and to avoid neurological complications or dysfun…

Tubo-ovarian cancer represents the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, and its burden is compounded by the absence of effective screening and the substantial lifetime risk carried by women with germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 pathogenic variants. W…

Opportunistic salpingectomy reduces ovarian cancer risk. To examine heterogeneity among physicians in their adoption of opportunistic salpingectomy in hysterectomy practice, we identified 33,401 non-pregnant patients aged 18 to 49 years in …

Mesonephric and mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas of the gynecologic tract are a rare subset of gynecologic tumors that are frequently associated with the presence of somatic KRAS mutations. Owing to their rare nature and ability to arise in…

OBJECTIVE: Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma is a rare, aggressive ovarian cancer subtype, newly classified by the World Health Organization in 2020. This study examines the clinical, ultrasound, pathological features, and survival outcomes o…

The presence of Fusobacterium nucleatum has been associated with gynecological disorders, namely endometriosis and pregnancy complications; however, its role in endometrial cancer remains unexplored. This study aimed to assess the presence …

OBJECTIVE: Several reproductive factors are associated with ovarian cancer risk but the association with survival is less clear. The main aim was to examine the impact of pre-diagnostic reproductive factors on long-term ovarian cancer survi…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to describe 2 types of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer: those with transitional elements (atypical endometriosis and borderline tumors) termed endometriosis-correlated or incidental benign endometriosis v…

OBJECTIVE: To compare survival outcomes and patterns of recurrence between endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer patients and non-endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer patients. METHODS: This retrospective study included data of consec…

The management of gynecological cancer has evolved considerably over the past decades in almost every field of treatment. Surgery plays a major role in the treatment algorithm. However, these invasive interventions can have profound implica…

OBJECTIVES: Primary mucinous ovarian carcinoma represents 3% of ovarian cancers and is typically diagnosed early, yielding favorable outcomes. This study aims to identify risk factors, focussing on the impact of age and ethnicity on surviva…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association of molecular and pathologic factors with concurrent or recurrent ovarian disease to guide ovarian preservation in endometrioid endometrial cancer. METHODS: Patients with endometrial cancer ≤50 yea…

In 2018, the European Society of Gynecological Oncology (ESGO) jointly with the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) and the European Society of Pathology (ESP) published evidence-based guidelines for the management of pat…

A 51-year-old pre-menopausal patient underwent a laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy for persistent bilateral cysts. Pathology analysis revealed borderline endometrioid tumors on both ovaries[1][1] ([Figures 1–4][2]). A secondary review confirm…
