OBJECTIVE
Despite rising global obesity rates, the impact of obesity on gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) remains uninvestigated. This study aimed at investigating whether overweight/obesity relates to response to chemotherapy in low-risk GTN patients.
METHODS
This nonconcurrent cohort study
Sialic acid immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec)-6 is a transmembrane receptor that binds leptin. Leptin is an obesity-associated peptide hormone overexpressed in gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). GTD encompasses several placental abnormalities that range from benign to malignant. Among GTD,
An accurate, efficient diagnosis of disorders responsible for abnormal uterine bleeding depends on a systematic consideration of all the possible causes. Careful history and physical and pelvic examinations provide the framework for evaluation. Many adjunctive diagnostic aids can be used to evaluate
Gynecologic oncology involves the study of preinvasive disease and cancers of the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries, and gestational trophoblastic disease. Endometrial cancer is the most common of the pelvic malignancies however, ovarian cancer is the most lethal. The other gynecologic cancers
1. It has become evident that the estrogen secreting tumors of the ovary are associated with endometrial carcinoma, but this association is most easily observed in the postmenopausal patient where the incidence of carcinoma has been reported at 10.3% (1. 02) to 24% (83). 2. The most consistent
Gestational trophoblastic disease and hyperreactio luteinalis (HL) are rare, but important, etiologies of hyperandrogenism that need to be further studied.We present a case of rapidly progressing hirsutism and marked biochemical androgen excess in the Leptin is a circulating hormone that is expressed abundantly and specifically in the adipose tissue. It is involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis, as well as the neuroendocrine and reproductive systems. Here, we demonstrate production of leptin by nonadipose tissue, namely, placental
