Less than whole uterus irradiation for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer
Despite the preventability of cervical cancer with the introduction of the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, cervical cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer death in women under the age of 40 [1]. Although the outcomes of cervical cancer are excellent for patients with early-stage disease, the 5-year disease free survival for locally advanced disease drops to around 70  %, highlighting the importance of further optimizing treatment of cervical cancer [2–8].

Suction thrombectomy of a uterine carcinosarcoma tumor thrombus extending into the IVC and right atrium
AbstractUterine carcinosarcoma is a rare, aggressive tumor with several cases in the literature reporting cardiac tumor thrombus involvement. In this case report, we describe a 72-year-old female with a history of uterine carcinosarcoma, who presented with extensive thrombus in the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) and right atrium. The patient underwent an aspiration thrombectomy which aided in intravascular debulking of the thrombus. Histopathological analysis of the thrombus revealed tumor thrombus. In cryptic cases of tumor thrombus, thrombectomy with histopathological analysis can help confirm the diagnosis of metastatic disea...

Autoimmune diseases and female-specific cancer risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: RA seems to reduce the risk of breast and uterine cancers, while PsO appears to increase breast cancer risk. Further large studies are required to investigate potential therapy-effects and detailed biological mechanisms.PMID:38428110 | DOI:10.1016/j.jaut.2024.103187 (Source: Journal of Autoimmunity)
