The incidence of endometrial cancer is predicted to increase in developed countries. Because of the relatively high incidence of complications and low diagnostic sensitivity associated with endometrial tissue sampling, there is an urgent need for the development of a safe and non-invasive diagnostic
OBJECTIVE
Hypoalbuminemia, a known marker for malnutrition and increased morbidity and mortality, has been associated with impaired prognosis in different cancer entities. The present study investigates the prognostic value of pre-treatment serum albumin levels for survival in patients with
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection in endometrial cancer patients with a dual-tracer procedure after hysteroscopic peritumoural injection.
METHODS
Twenty-six women with previously untreated endometrial adenocarcinoma underwent the
Elevated insulin levels may explain part of the increased risk of endometrial cancer observed in obese postmenopausal women. Circulating sex hormones and fasting C-peptide levels were measured in sera obtained from 165 postmenopausal endometrial cancer cases accrued between June 1, 1987, and May 15,
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the applicability of the sentinel lymph node biopsy technique in early stages of endometrial cancer.
METHODS
A prospective study that included consecutive patients with a histological diagnosis of clinical state I endometrial carcinoma was performed. Two doses of 2 mCi (74
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to compare the results of single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT) with those of intraoperative gamma probe detection and assess the clinical utility of SPECT-CT for sentinel lymph node biopsy in endometrial cancer.
METHODS
We
BACKGROUND
Sentinel node (SN) mapping with cervical injection of 99m-technetium (99mTc) albumin nanocolloid in early endometrial cancer has been shown to be feasible and data emerging from recent large series support the incorporation of SN mapping algorithm in endometrial cancer staging.
METHODS
We
The aim of the study was to examine contributing factors associated with developing menopausal symptoms after surgical staging in women with endometrial cancer.
This is a retrospective study examining patients with endometrial cancer who were premenopausal at the time of hysterectomy-based surgical
The observation that charcoal-treated fetal bovine serum (ctFBS) was able to modify one of main pathways of estrogens in cancer cells in culture, prompted us to initiate the present study. The active component of serum was isolated using native preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE).
Aim: To reveal the prognostic significance of serum albumin (ALB) concentration in endometrial cancer (EC) patients in China. Patients & methods: 345 EC patients were enrolled in a single center, and the preoperative serum ALB concentration were measured. Kaplan-Meier curve
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to assess whether there is an additional value of single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) over lymphoscintigraphy (LSG) alone for sentinel node (SN) mapping in endometrial and cervical cancer.
METHODS
Ten women with clinically
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare preoperative SPECT/CT with gamma-probe and methylene blue-dye (MBD) in the identification of sentinel lymph node (SLN) in early stage endometrial cancer.
METHODS
40 stage-I EC patients (66.7 ± 9.7 years) underwent preoperative lymphoscintigraphy. After
BACKGROUND
Detection of micrometastases in sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) extends our knowledge of lymphatic spread in endometrial cancer, although its clinical significance has not yet been confirmed.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of study was to determine the incidence of SLN micrometastases and to analyze the
To determine if readily obtainable markers of frailty predict disease-free survival (DFS) in elderly women with endometrial cancer treated with curative intent.
88 consecutive women≥age 60 treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for stage I-IV endometrial cancer were included. We considered
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of PET/CT and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in staging high-risk endometrial cancer patients (G2 and deep myometrial invasion, G3, serous clear cell carcinoma or carcinosarcoma) in early clinical stage.
METHODS
From January 2006 to December
