The anti-cancer potential of thrombospondin-1 by inhibiting angiogenesis and stroma reaction during cervical carcinogenesis
Publication date: Available online 26 September 2015 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy Author(s): Ming-Ping Wu, Li-Wha Wu, Cheng-Yang Chou Tumor growth is angiogenesis dependent. Angiogenic switch (the acquisition of an angiogenic phenotype) is essential for cervical carcinogenesis. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is an endogenous angiogenic inhibitor with multiple functional domains and interacting receptors. The disruption of TSP-1 fence (the expression in basal epithelia) occurred concordantly during the transition from low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) into high SIL. This concordance sug...

A Comparison of Outcomes following Robotic-Assisted Staging and Laparotomy in patients with Early Stage Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma of the Uterus with Uterine Weight Under 480g
Conclusion Use of the DaVanci robotic system was associated with less intraoperative blood loss, fewer postoperative complications, and shorter hospital stay compared with laparotomy for patients with uterine weight less than 480g. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

Fallopian tube cancer incidentally diagnosed during laparoscopy for metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown primary lesion
We report a case of fallopian tube cancer that was incidentally diagnosed during laparoscopy for metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown primary lesion. A 60-year-old woman had two intraperitoneal calcific masses, which a biopsy revealed to be a metastatic malignancy with an unknown primary site. She was asymptomatic, and the primary site was not identified in imaging evaluations such as transvaginal ultrasonography. A diagnostic laparoscopy was performed and revealed papillary tumor-like lesions in the right fallopian tube. The laparoscopy was immediately converted to laparotomy. Total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophor...

An update on Adenomyosis uteri
Publication date: Available online 1 September 2015 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy Author(s): Sze Ching Hong, Chong Kiat Khoo Adenomyosis is a gynaecological condition commonly encountered in clinical practice. It is defined as the presence of endometrium within the myometrium. The prevalence of this condition in asymptomatic women is unclear, and a large proportion of these women may have associated pathology such as leiomyomas, endometriosis, endometrial polyps and hyperplasia. Most of the time, diagnosis is made on histological examination of specimen following hysterectomy or adenomyomectomy. ...

Salpingectomy and prevention of ovarian carcinoma
Publication date: Available online 1 September 2015 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy Author(s): Shahul Hameed Mohamed Siraj, Bernard Su Min Chern Advanced cases of epithelial, primary peritoneal and primary tubal malignancies have relative poor prognosis and collectively remain the most deadly of all gynecologic malignancies. Recently many studies have demonstrated that the fallopian tubes might be the origin of most high grade ovarian and peritoneal serous carcinoma. In this review, we describe the tubal carcinogenic pathway with the precancerous tubal lesions and the impact of salpingectomy for pr...

Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery and its Applications in Gynecology
Publication date: Available online 29 August 2015 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy Author(s): Yueqian Wu, Zhiyuan Dai, Xipeng Wang Laparoscopic surgery has been used extensively since it was first applied in the 1980s. The advantages are generally accepted and include less pain, smaller incisions, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays. However, several limitations associated with standard laparoscopic surgery (SLS) have become apparent and include the loss of tactile sensation, problems with the removal of bulky and intact specimens, and the restriction of visualization of the entire operati...

Accuracy of frozen section in management and prediction of lymph node metastasis in endometrial carcinoma
Conclusion The accuracy of FS in determining tumor grade and myometrial invasion appears to be reliable. LN metastases cannot be predicted adequately by intraoperative FS. We recommend complete surgical staging for all patients with endometrial cancer. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)
