The levels of CA125 (reference values [RVs] 35 U/mL and 65 U/mL), CA15.3 (RV = 32 U/mL), Mucin-like carcinoma associated antigen (MCA; RV = 15 U/mL), CAM26 (RV = 75 U/mL) and CAM29 (RV = 15 U/mL) were preoperatively assayed in blood samples…

Between March 1986 and March 1989, 65 epithelial ovarian carcinomas were studied by means of real time high resolution ultrasound. The sonographic findings were correlated with FIGO stage, histotype and histological grade. The echostructure…

The complications of surgical treatment in 193 cases of endometrial adenocarcinoma, subdivided into two groups, were analyzed: 58 without lymphadenectomy and 135 with systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy before total abdominal hysterectomy and…

We have analyzed 37 cases of simultaneous appearance of carcinoma in the ovary and endometrium. This paper deals with the question of whether they should be considered stage III endometrial carcinomas, stage II ovarian carcinomas or indepen…

An improved immunohistochemical determination of the cytokeratin profiles of epithelia and their neoplasms is possible using monoclonal antibodies that will either identify all 19 cytokeratins (AE1/3) or delineate specific subsets (35 beta …

In the period 1968-1987 at the Oncological Scientific Center of Tbilisi 1100 Endometrial Cancer were observed. All patients were treated surgically and in particular 89.9% cases with total hysterectomy and adnexectomy; 9.8% with hysterectom…

The clinico-pathological features of four examples of a distinctive benign uterine neoplasm are presented which has previously been titled atypical adenomyoma. The patients were all nulliparous and premenopausal. All presented with menstrua…

The results of a study performed on a case series of 250 women treated in our out-patient department for abnormal uterine bleeding are reported. Half of these patients (125) were 45 years of age or over and therefore at risk of adenocarcino…

A symptomatic pelvic-abdominal mass in a 29 year old female was found to be bilateral ovarian serous cystadenomata of borderline malignancy. In addition, a thickened region of the omentum was removed and proved to be endometriosis. Endometr…

The Authors report their experience in a double-blind, crossover study (danazol versus placebo) in 38 patients suffering from severe benign mastopathy. The results were evaluated with regard to clinical data (mastodynia, breast nodularity) …

Echographic appearances of the uterus of 56 women for whom the ultrasound diagnosis was suggestive of endometrial hyperplasia have been examined.

Seriated ferritin assays were carried out on 95 patients affected by primitive ovarian epithelial tumour over a period of three years (1979/82), by radioimmunometric assay for human spleen ferritin. Ferritin was elevated in endometrioid tum…

Association of serum alphafetoprotein (alpha FP), human chorionic gonadotropin beta-subunit (beta-HCG), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and ferritin (FER) was studied in a group of 72 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer 15 days after sur…

On the basis of a personal series of 43 cases of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma the Authors point out that this histologic type is more hormonosensitive than the other ovarian carcinomas. Their search for ER and PgR receptors in the tumour …
