“…Epidemiological data on cervical cancer show it to be a significant public health problem for women living in developing countries [20], where 80% of the estimated 466,000 cases in the world occur annually, and where it is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women [21]. One reason for the higher incidence of cervical cancer in developing countries may be that the risk factors are prevalent.…”

“…In spite of these advances in the methods of treatment, approximately 30% of women with invasive cervical carcinoma die as a result of recurrent or persistent disease. 2,3 Typical manifestations of recurrent cervical carcinoma involve the pelvis and lymph nodes around the pelvis or retro-peritoneum, but atypically recurrent cervical cancer may involve the solid organs of the abdomen as well as the peritoneum, mesentery, and omentum (implants); gastrointestinal tract (obstruction, fistula formation, ischemia); chest (metastases to the lung parenchyma, pleura, and pericardium); bones (destructive lesions); and other sites. 3,4 Of these atypical metastasis, abdominal metastasis occurred in the peritoneal cavity and solid organs such as the liver and adrenal gland.…”

“…The involvement of another abdominal solid organ such as the spleen, pancreas or gastrointestinal tract is very rare and in almost all cases, widespread metastasis involving other organ also occurs. [2][3][4] Hence, we report a case of a 50-year-old women who underwent concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) due to cervical cancer and then suffered from multiple recurrence including stomach.…”

Extra-pelvic spread of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the cervix to the stomach is extremely rare. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia two years after diagnosis of SCC of the cervix. At esophagogastroduodenoscopy, there was a 1.5×1.2 cm sized ulcero-fungating mass at the cardia portion just beneath the esophagogastric junction which was biopsied for a suspected neoplastic lesion. Histologic and immunohistochemical examinations showed a SCC with characteristics identical to her original tumor from the cervix confirming gastric metastasis. Therefore, we report a case of endocervical SCC with metastatic lesions in the stomach 2 years after the initial diagnosis. (Korean J Helicobacter Up Gastrointest Res 2013;13:55-59)

“…However, such drugs often have pitfalls, due to the fact they have high toxicity against non-cancerous cells, and also because various types of cancer cells are resistant against therapy. Therefore, development and test of new anti-cancer substances is necessary 4 .…”

Purpose: To verify the copaiba balsam (Copaifera officinalis) effect on Walker 256 carcinoma inoculated into vagina and uterine cervix of rats. Methods: Eighteen female Wistar rats weighing between 180-250g were used, distributed into 2 groups (GCop, GC). On the 1st day of the experiment, 0.3 ml of Walker 256 carcinoma (2x10 6 concentration) was inoculated in both groups; on the 3rd day of the experiment, it was given 4.8 ml/kg of distilled water to the GC group, and 4.8 ml/kg of copaiba balsam to the GCop group. On the 12th day, euthanasia was performed and the tumor was grafted, being weighted and verified its volume. The data were submitted to statistical analysis with ANOVA test. Results: It was observed that copaiba balsam presented a negative inhibitory potential of 70%. Conclusion:The copaiba balsam stimulated the tumor growth. Key words: Plants, Medicinal.

RESUMOObjetivo: Verificar o efeito do óleo de copaíba da espécie Copaifera officinalis no carcinoma de Walker 256 inoculado em vagina e colo de útero de ratas. Métodos: Foram utilizadas 18 ratas da linhagem Wistar, pesando entre 180-250g, distribuídas em dois grupos (CCop, GC). No 1º dia de experimento, em ambos os grupos foi inoculado 0,3ml de tumor de Walker 256 na concentração de 2x10 6 ; no 3º dia após essa inoculação, foi iniciada a administração de água destilada na dose de 4,8 ml/kg ao GC, e copaíba na dose de 4,8 ml/kg ao GCop. No 12° dia foi realizada a eutanásia das ratas e ressecado o tumor, sendo este pesado e averiguado seu volume. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise estatística pelo método ANOVA. Resultados: Observou-se que o óleo de copaíba apresentou um potencial inibitório negativo de 70%. Conclusão: O óleo de copaíba estimulou o crescimento tumoral. Descritores: Plantas Medicinais.
