Five-year survival rate was 93%. Survival probabilities were calculated by the product limit method of Kaplan and Meier that showed, patients with no myometrial invasion and low mitotic count < or = 5/HPF have longer disease-free survival, but P value was not significant.
Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the major health concerns of women in developing countries. This study gives an insight into the prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV infection and compares it with Pap smear results among Iranian women.Methods: In this study, 12 076 Iranian women underwent routine examination from November 2016 to November 2018 using HPV Direct Flow CHIP System for HPV DNA typing. Cytology was undertaken for 5138 samples.
Background: Immune system status is a factor related to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) recurrence. neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a useful factor in assessing the immune status. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of NLR factor for CIN recurrence in patient who underwent excisional procedure and its relationship with recurrence free survival (RFS). Methods: In this historical cohort study, a population of 307 patients with CIN (confirmed by excisional pathology) from 2009 to 2017 were selected. NLR and hematologic factors were measured before surgery and the follow-up records of these patient were analyzed. The recurrence rate and RFS were assessed during the follow-up phase. Results: The NLR cutoff point of 1.9 was determined using the Youden Index. NLR<1.9 (low NLR) and NLR≥1.9 (high NLR) were observed among 68.1% and 39.1% of patients, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that higher NLR values (P<0.001), absolute neutrophilic counts (ANC) (P<0.001) and platelet lymphocytic ratios (PLR) (P=0.002) were significantly associated with reduction in RFS. The results of Cox regression showed that removing more tissue during excision (HR = 0.325; 95% CI (0.936-0.136) significantly reduced the hazard of recurrence, higher NLR (HR = 4.55; 95% CI) (1.97-10.51) and white blood cell (WBC) count levels (HR =1.27; 95% CI, 1.04-1.55), significantly decreased RFS, but PLR and ANC associated with RFS were not confirmed by Cox regression. Conclusion: NLR and total WBC count might be prognostic factors involved in the prediction of recurrence and RFS in CIN patient underwent excisional procedure. To confirm these results, more prospective studies with larger sample sizes are needed.
Purpose: The current study aimed at assessing the association between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) for the prognosis of the surgical outcome of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Materials and Methods: EOC patient medical records of surgical operations between January, 2005 and December, 2015 were reviewed and their data of clinicopathological complete blood counts (CBCs) and surgical outcomes were collected. To assess their effects on surgical outcomes, PLR and NLR optimal predictive values were determined and then compared with each other. Results: A statistically significant relation was found between surgical outcomes and NLR and PLR (p<0.001 and p<0.001), for which new cutoff points were gained (PLR: 192,3,293; NLR: 3). The sensitivity and specificity were 0.74 and 0.67, respectively for PLR and 0.74 and 0.58, for NLR. Conclusions: NLR and PLR seem to be useful methods for the prediction of surgical outcomes in patients with EOCs. Increased NLR and PLR proved to be beneficial for poor surgical outcomes. Moreover, PLR increase showed further help in the predicting outcome of EOC suboptimal debulking.
IntroductionRhabdomyosarcoma has known as a highly malignant soft tissue sarcoma. It has been the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood, accounting for about 3 to 4 % of all cases of childhood cancer. Rhabdomyosarcoma was rare in adults, accounting for 3% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of female genital tract including uterine cervix in an adult was rare.Case PresentationThis study has reported a 33-year-old woman presented with abnormal vaginal discharge. Gynecologic examination revealed a cervical mass with grape- like feature protruding into vagina with posterior- superior vaginal wall involvement. Biopsy has performed and pathologic examination was consistent with embryonal botryoid type rhabdomyosarcoma. She has undergone the staging work up measurements including thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan, abdominopelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone scan and bone marrow examination. In exception of abdominopelvic MRI, with 2 suspicious pelvic lymph nodes in addition of cervical mass, all others were normal. Radical hysterectomy with lymph node debulking and ovarian preservation has performed. Final results have shown embryonal botryoid type rhabdomyosarcoma of cervix. ovaries, endometrium, parametrium, and follopian tubes were unremarkable. Pelvic lymph nodes pathology and intraabdominal fluid cytology were negative for malignancy. Lymphovascular invasion was identified. She has advised for adjuvant chemotherapy.ConclusionsThis case has reminded that embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma could occur in uncommon site and older female. Longer follow up of these cases has required due to lack of survival data for embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of this site and age group.
Objective: dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a common gynecological condition which affects about 20-30% of premenopausal women. When medical treatments fail to provide adequate relief, surgical interventions, including hysterectomy or destruction of the endometrium, might be considered. The aim of the present study was to determine the menstrual outcomes and the satisfaction level, after thermal balloon endometrial ablation to treat this condition among Iranian patients. Design classification: A single-arm prospective study. Setting: University teaching hospital. patients:52 patients with dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Intervention: Patients underwent endometrial ablation using Cavaterm plus and were fallowed up for 12 months, Post operatively. Measurements: The pictorial blood loss assessment chart score of menstrual cycle, number of days in the cycle, degree of dysmenorrhea, satisfaction from treatment and any complication of treatment were assessed. Main results: Eighty-eight percent of patients responded to treatment; the mean number of days of bleeding per month decreased from a mean of 13.6 to 4days (p<0.001) and the mean amount of bleeding decreased from 535.4 to 38.6 in pictorial blood loss assessment chart (p<0/001). Also 45% of patients became amenorrheic after one year fallow up and 88% were satisfied with their treatment. Conclusions: Thermal balloon endometrial ablation among our patients showed a similar outcome to previous reported studies. It seems that this method represents an excellent alternative to hysterectomy, with high rate of success, a very low complications rate and high patients satisfaction.
Background: Most gestational trophoblastic neoplasias (GTN) develop following hydatidiform mole; but may occur after abortion, normal pregnancy or even ectopic pregnancy. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the importance of six-month follow-up of uncomplicated molar pregnancy after
