Therapeutic effectiveness of elevated temperature is a well known issue. However raising the temperature inside the tumor sparing concurrently surrounding healthy tissue is not an easy task. Intracavitary, radiofrequency hyperthermia in uterine tumor cases allows to obtain elevated temperature in a
OBJECTIVE
We reviewed our series of very advanced FIGO stage III-IV endometrial cancer patients to assess the efficacy and toxicity of a platinum- and doxorubicin-containing chemotherapy followed by conventional radiotherapy.
METHODS
Forty-five patients with advanced FIGO stage III and IV
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of carboplatin plus paclitaxel in primarily advanced or recurrent endometrial cancers.
METHODS
Four distinct patient groups received carboplatin (area under the curve, 5 to 7) plus paclitaxel 175 mg/m(2) for 3 hours at 4-week intervals: group 1 (n = 21), patients
OBJECTIVE
Postoperative radiotherapy (RT) is the most used adjuvant treatment in high risk endometrial cancer (HREC), and it appears to reduce the incidence of pelvic relapses but doesn't seem to improve survival. Paclitaxel (P) has shown in vitro and clinical activity against endometrial cancer,
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the feasibility of combination chemotherapy with paclitaxel, doxorubicin and cisplatin without prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor injection for intermediate-to-high-risk or recurrent endometrial cancer.
METHODS
Women with histologically confirmed FIGO Stages
A pilot trial of combined chemotherapy with paclitaxel, doxorubicin and cisplatin was conducted in patients with advanced endometrial cancer. Between June 2000 and March 2002 8 patients were treated with combined chemotherapy, consisting of paclitaxel, 135 mg/m2; doxorubicin, 30 mg/m2; and
BACKGROUND
In contrast to autopsy findings, solitary splenic metastases from solid tumors are extremely rare. It may occasionally be the first manifestation of recurrent solid cancers, and in particular of gynecologic malignancies. Secondary amyloidosis is also found in malignancy.
METHODS
A
There is presented the method of local laser hyperthermia on the domestic nanotechnological optic-fiber device LAZON-FT integrated into the program of brachytherapy for tumors of the female reproductive system. This is a universal radiosensibilizator that demonstrates the acceleration of tumor
Doxorubicin, platinum compounds, and taxanes represent the chemotherapeutic agents with the greatest activity in endometrial cancer. We conducted an optimal-dose determination of combination chemotherapy consisting of paclitaxel (TXL), doxorubicin, and carboplatin (CBDCA) (TAC) in patients with
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to study the association of age, comorbid illness, race, and type of hospital with resource use in patients undergoing hysterectomy and lymph node dissection for endometrial cancer.
METHODS
The study was a population-based analysis of patients undergoing hysterectomy with
BACKGROUND
The standard treatment for women with endometrial cancer is total abdominal hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for surgical staging. Total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (TLH) is an alternative approach providing surgical and patient related advantages to
OBJECTIVE
Pelvic lymphocysts have been reported mainly following pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer. We attempted to assess whether retroperitoneal partial "no-closure" reduces the incidence of lymphocyst formation following retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.
METHODS
Sixty-one patients with
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to examine the early postoperative period and assess whether elderly patients recuperate differently than do their younger counterparts after surgery for endometrial cancer.
METHODS
This retrospective chart review comprised all women older than 75 years who
OBJECTIVE
To describe readmission patterns after robotic surgery for endometrial cancer and identify risk factors for readmission within 90 days of discharge.
METHODS
Patients with endometrial cancer who underwent robotic surgical management at an academic institution from 2006 to 2010 were
BACKGROUND
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) in the acute postoperative setting is a recently recognized syndrome that, similar to classic or idiopathic TTP, presents variably with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, fever, renal failure, and mental status changes. Though
