The Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) Inside Knowledge: Get the Facts About Gynecologic Cancer campaign informs women and health care providers about the five main types of gynecologic cancer: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar. Gynecologic cancer is any cancer that starts in a womans reproductive organs. Each year, about 71,500 women in the U.S. are diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer and approximately 26,500 women die from one. While gynecologic cancers are often discussed as a group, each is unique and has different signs, symptoms, risk factors, and prevention strategies. Developed and implemented by CDCs Division of Cancer Prevention and Control in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services Office on Womens Health, Inside Knowledge raises awareness about each of the main gynecologic cancers. Campaign resources are available in both English and Spanish. Inside Knowledge supports the Gynecologic Cancer Education and Awareness Act of 2005, ...

This is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effect of the Vaginal Renewal™ Program (VRP), consisting of the use of a vibrating vaginal wand, manual massage and a water based lubricant, on sexual dysfunction, compared to the current standard care for women with no evidence of disease after treatment for gynecologic cancers.. In the University of Wisconsin gynecologic oncology and radiation oncology clinics, patients are generally asked about sexual function. Those women who report sexual dysfunction will be given the option to enroll in the study. After enrollment, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and other quality of life surveys will be administered at baseline. The participants will be randomized to either the control arm, composed of standard of care therapy for the physical components of sexual dysfunction, or the experimental arm (VRP).. Throughout the study, the participants will undergo physical exams to assess the rate of improvement in their comfort with ...

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is usually the most deadly gynaecological malignancy world-wide. ovarian malignancy (EOC) is usually the 5th leading trigger of cancer-related loss of life among ladies world-wide and accounts for the highest mortality price of all gynaecological malignancies. Each full year, over 22000 ladies are diagnosed with EOC in the United Says an approximated 14000 individuals pass away from this disease1. Late-stage analysis, peritoneal metastasis and advancement of chemoresistance restrain improvements in general success price. Despite debulking medical procedures and intense platinum eagle/taxane-based chemotherapy routines, the bulk of individuals relapse after attaining a total medical response2, 3. Inherent and obtained level of resistance to chemotherapeutics are accountable for treatment failing in EOC4. Individuals with the repeated disease are treated with gemcitabine and bevacizumab (anti-VEGFA mAb) but medical tests statement that the average general success is ...

This study used a cross-sectional design. By using the method of purposive sampling, the 70 gynecological cancer patients who had completed the active treatments for six months will be recruited from the oncology and gynecology clinics of a medical center in the Northern Taiwan area. The 70 healthy controls without any cancer will be recruited from clinic and from friends and colleagues. The instruments include Sample characteristics questionnaire, Short Form-12 (SF-12), Medical Outcome Study Sleep Scale (MOS-sleep), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Sexual Activity Questionnaire (SAQ), and The Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R). The data will be analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis, independent t-test, ANOVA, Scheffes test, Pearsons correlation, and stepwise regression ...

This chapter discusses thrombosis and bleeding problems in gynaecological malignancies. Venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) and bleeding problems are significant causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. Both cause distressing symptoms and pose management challenges, particularly in patients with advanced cancer. Patients experiencing such symptoms are often subjected to clotting and bleeding problems simultaneously. These symptoms are more prevalent in patients with gynaecological cancer because of the site of their cancer and the metastatic spread of their disease. Thrombosis is caused by the platelet activation by tumour cells, proagulant generation by tumour cells, increased level of clotting factors, and reduction of inhibitors. Bleeding problems on the other hand are caused by aggressive treatment, advancement of the disease, metastatic spread, Vitamin K deficiency, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and adverse drug effects. Also discussed in the chapter are the assessment

Differences between the prescribed dose of radiation in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and the dose thats actually delivered may make comparison studies in gynecological cancers difficult to interpret. These findings were reported in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.. Radiation therapy is often used in the treatment of various forms of cancer. Radiation therapy uses beams of radiation to slow or stop cancer cell growth, which shrinks or eliminates the tumor.. Intensity modulated radiation therapy is an advanced radiation technique that uses computers to control the devices that deliver precise radiation doses to malignant tumors or specific areas of the tumor. Because the surrounding tissues are minimally affected with IMRT, higher, more-effective radiation doses may be delivered to the tumor, with fewer side effects. Currently, IMRT is approved for the treatment of cancers of the prostate, head and neck, breast, thyroid, and lung, as well as for gynecological cancers, ...

We were pleased to see that there was a significant improvement in capturing more womens cancers early, says Amanda Fader, M.D., associate professor of gynecology and obstetrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and senior author of the new study. It can take decades to observe changes in population-based health trends, so to see differences this soon is promising. Women of all ages are at risk for gynecologic cancers, which include cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal and vulvar cancers. However, rates of these cancers-linked to both obesity and infection with human papilloma virus-are rising in young women. Each year in the U.S., about 2,000 women under the age of 26 are diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer. In this population, early diagnosis is critical to treatment success and the ability to maintain fertility after treatment, Fader notes. Fader and her team credit the ACA for the improvement in early diagnosis because one of the key parts of the health care law was the ...

The population of HIV-infected women is increasing over time, and a recent study showed that while the incidence of AIDS-defining cancers decreased by three-fold from 1991-1995 to 2001-2005, the incidence of non-AIDS-defining cancers is increasing by almost the same amount [4]. Historically, multiple studies have focused on AIDS-defining diseases, such as cervical cancer; however, there are significantly less data on HIV-infected women with vulvar cancer [16-18], and only limited reports on HIV-infected women with ovarian and endometrial cancers [19-23]. To our knowledge, there is no case series describing guideline-specific care and outcomes of HIV-infected women with gynecologic cancers. As these cancers increase, our ability to meet the standard of care and to understand the impact of standard-of-care treatment on this population is critical. In this retrospective cohort study of women with HIV infection and gynecologic cancers, we found that almost 50% of women did not receive optimal ...

Holistic needs assessment (HNA) and care planning is proposed to address unmet needs of people treated for cancer. We tested whether HNA and care planning by an allied health professional improved cancer-specific quality of life for women following curative treatment for stage I-III gynaecological cancer. Methods Consecutive women were invited to participate in a randomised controlled study (HNA and care planning vs. usual care) at a UK cancer centre. Data were collected by questionnaire at baseline, three and six months. The outcomes were six month change in EORTC-QLQ-C30 global score (primary), and in EORTC sub-scales, generic quality of life, self-efficacy (secondary). The study was blinded for data management and analysis. Differences in outcomes were compared between groups. Health service utilisation and Quality Adjusted Life Years (from SF-6) were gathered for a cost-effectiveness analysis. Thematic analysis was used to interpret data from an exit interview. Results 150 women consented ...

Where an HNA was used to develop a care plan with women at the end of treatment for gynaecological cancer, there was no evidence in the primary endpoint (EORTC global QoL status scores) to favour the intervention. However, a trend to improvement over 6 months in the EORTC subscales of emotional, role, social functioning and symptom scales for fatigue, insomnia and breathlessness was seen only in the intervention group. This suggestion of improvement in function and symptoms was corroborated by the nested interviews. The interviews also gave insights about the significant impact of cancer and treatment for some women. The experience of receiving the intervention and specifically how it had the treatment impact for them indicates that the intervention was well received by the majority of the women interviewed. The intervention was inexpensive, and a reduced use of health and social care resources was shown in the intervention group. The health economic analysis was based on a reduced sample size; ...

The Australian Government, under the auspice of Cancer Australia (CA), engaged the Centre for Health Service Development (CHSD) to conduct an independent evaluation of the National Centre for Gynaecological Cancers (NCGC). This final evaluation report synthesises our key findings and includes recommendations to position the work of the NCGC for the future. The evaluation has assessed the impact and outcomes of the NCGC at the level of consumers, service providers and the wider cancer control system. In addition we have reviewed the appropriateness, efficiency and effectiveness of the Centre in the cont ext of government service delivery.

Microsatellite instability (MSI) testing is tricky in gynaecological cancers (GC). Thus, we aimed to describe the instability patterns to improve MSI test interpretation in sporadic and hereditary GCs. Ninety-five cases, including uterine and ovarian cancers, with known genetic and immunohistochemical (IHC) features, were analysed for MSI by a mononucleotide repeats pentaplex (MRP). We identified 13 ambiguous cases that did not fully meet MSI criteria (borderline cases, B-MSI), which were main

Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological tumors in females, which is definitely closely related to high-rate HPV infection. the significant impact on the prospect of overcoming cervical malignancy. 1. Intro Cervical malignancy, which is one of the three most common gynecological tumors, has been the fourth leading cause of cancer-associated death among women worldwide, as well as becoming the second most commonly diagnosed malignancy in developing countries. According to statistics, newly diagnosed instances and cervical cancer-associated deaths are approximately 520,000 and 260,000, respectively, every year, which affected youth styles more clearly [1]. It is widely recognized that persistent illness of high-risk-HPV (hr-HPV) accounts for the process from cervical intraepithelial Olodaterol small molecule kinase inhibitor neoplasia (CIN) to neoplasms, and vaccines of HPV and software of screening methods contribute a lot towards cervical carcinoma prevention. However, for founded ...

Gynecological cancers are a group of cancers that affect the female reproductive system. St. Lukes provides personalized care for female pelvic malignancies.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in females. According to the American Cancer Society, there are 327,660 new cases in breast and gynecological cancers estimated in 2014, placing emphasis on the need for cancer prevention and new cancer treatment strategies. One important approach to cancer prevention involves phytochemicals, biologically active compounds derived from plants. A variety of studies on the impact of dietary compounds found in cruciferous vegetables, green tea and spices like curry and black pepper have revealed epigenetic changes in female cancers. Thus, an important emerging topic comprises epigenetic changes due to the modulation of noncoding RNA levels. Since it has been shown that noncoding RNAs such as microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs are aberrantly expressed in cancer and furthermore are linked to distinct cancer phenotypes, understanding the effects of dietary compounds and supplements on the epigenetic modulator noncoding RNA is of great interest. This article reviews

Cancers of the female reproductive system include ovarian, uterine, vaginal, cervical and vulvar cancers, which are termed gynecologic cancer. The emergence of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are believed to play a crucial role in several different biological processes, has made the regulation of gene expression more complex. Although the function of lncRNAs is still rather elusive, their broad involvement in the initiation and progression of various cancers is clear. They are also involved in the pathogenesis of cancers of the female reproductive system. LncRNAs play a critical physiological role in apoptosis, metastasis, invasion, migration and cell proliferation in these cancers. Different expression profiles of lncRNAs have been observed in various types of tumors compared with normal tissues and between malignant and benign tumors. These differential expression patterns may lead to the promotion or suppression of cancer development and tumorigenesis. In the current review, we present the

We performed a retrospective 2-year study of patients diagnosed with a gynecological cancer and whose treatment regimen contained carboplatin (AUC dose = 5 or 6) and paclitaxel (dose = 175 mg/m2) every 3 weeks (CP scheme). We recorded all severe hematological events (thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and/or anemia grade III/IV) according to the CTCAE v4.03, as well as treatment modifications and the need for granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) and/or erythropoietin (EPO) or packed red blood cells (PRBC).

Ovarian, fallopian tube, and endometrial cancer can all be connected to your genes. There can be a connection to breast and colon cancers, too.. Its heartbreaking when a family member shares theyve received a gynecologic or breast cancer diagnosis. It can also be scary when its a first degree relative or theres more than one family member with the same diagnosis: a family history of cancer might mean theres an inherited genetic mutation thats being passed down through the family-so you could be at risk.. You may have heard of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. Those mutations increase risks for both breast and ovarian cancer.. Theres also Lynch syndrome, an inherited disorder that increases risks for gynecologic cancer, including ovarian and endometrial cancer. This syndrome also increases the risk of colon cancer in both men and women.. There are number of other mutations as well. Genetic testing can help determine if you have one of them.. You should talk to a genetic counselor about ...

N2 - Ixabepilone is a semisynthetic analogue of epothilone B, a novel microtubule-stabilizing agent. Preclinical data suggest that its mechanisms of actions are different from those of the most commonly used microtubule- stabilizing agent, paclitaxel. This information in addition to the cytotoxicity of this drug in taxane-resistant cell lines in multiple solid tumors supports the fact that ixabepilone may be active in taxane-resistant tumors. Breast and gynecologic malignancies are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in women. Clinical studies demonstrate significant activity of ixabepilone monotherapy in these heavily pretreated patients. The toxicity profile of ixabepilone seems to be similar to that of taxanes and manageable by supportive methods.. AB - Ixabepilone is a semisynthetic analogue of ...

While ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy in the United States, there are no biomarkers available that are able to predict therapeutic responses to ovarian malignancies. OVCAR3 cells were treated with EGF1, and the time course of cell progression was monitored based on Akt phosphorylation and growth dynamics. EGF-stimulated Akt phosphorylation was detected at 12 h post-treatment, but an impact on expansion was not really noticed until 48 l post-exposure. Growth-stimulated mobile lysates had been examined for proteins single profiles between treatment organizations and across period factors using iTRAQ marking and mass spectrometry. The proteins response to EGF treatment was determined via iTRAQ evaluation in EGF-stimulated lysates relatives to vehicle-treated individuals across the treatment period program. Approval research had been performed on one of the controlled aminoacids differentially, lysosomal-associated membrane layer INK 128 proteins 1 (Light-1), in human ...

Were excited to share news about immunotherapies, one of the most promising treatments to emerge for gynecologic cancer. Before immunotherapies, cancer treatment included surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. Immunotherapies are showing benefits in prolonged disease control, or longer survival rates. Pembrolizumab is one of several new immunotherapies developed recently and has been approved to treat certain types of gynecologic cancers, including uterine and cervical. Pembrolizumab could provide benefit for up to 30 percent of patients with advanced endometrial cancer. Recent reports also show that some women with chemotherapy-resistant GTN (gestational trophoblastic neoplasia) respond well to immunotherapies when multiple cycles of chemotherapy have failed..

This concise and practical guide enables the gynecologist to differentiate between benign and malignant gynecologic conditions to determine the best management options for the patient. Over the past three decades, as the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology has matured into a broad and diverse group of skills and disciplines, it has become apparent that there are diagnoses and conditions in gynecologic oncology where the obstetrician-gynecologist has a level of uncertainty, or lack of confidence in his ability or knowledge base to adequately manage the patient and therefore refers the patient to a gynecologic oncologist.. This text portrays the advances in the field and reviews the current management of a number of gynaecologic conditions to give the reader the confidence needed to deal with these issues. The distinguides Editors have crafted the book to include:. ...

Background The study aims to determine possible dose-volume response relationships between the rectum, sigmoid colon and small intestine and the excessive mucus discharge syndrome after pelvic radiotherapy for gynaecological cancer. Methods and materials From a larger cohort, 98 gynaecological cancer survivors were included in this study. These survivors, who were followed for 2 to 14 years, received external beam radiation therapy but not brachytherapy and not did not have stoma. Thirteen of the 98 developed excessive mucus discharge syndrome. Three self-assessed symptoms were weighted together to produce a score interpreted as excessive mucus discharge syndrome based on the factor loadings from factor analysis. The dose-volume histograms (DVHs) for rectum, sigmoid colon, small intestine for each survivor were exported from the treatment planning systems. The dose-volume response relationships for excessive mucus discharge and each organ at risk were estimated by fitting the data to the Probit, RS,

Optimal radiation for gynecologic malignancies often combines both teletherapy (external beam radiotherapy) and brachytherapy (internal radiation) with careful clinical judgment required to determine the proper weighting of each component. The challenge in radiation delivery is to deliver intended full dose(s) to selected target(s), while minimizing exposure to adjacent normal tissues. Sophisticated developments in imaging, computer-based treatment planning, and linear accelerator technology provide for ever-greater sophistication and accuracy in radiotherapy. However, such precision in dose delivery has to be accompanied by improvements in patient set-up immobilization, reproducibility, and regular tumor tracking to prevent marginal misses of the intended target volume. Advances in radiotherapy for gynecologic malignancies will be based on further integration with systemic agents (for both spatial cooperation and chemosensitization), as well as developments in targeting, tracking, and adaptive ...

Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (USO) and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) are performed for a wide variety of indications. In gynecologic oncology, there is a fundamental distinction between USO/BSO performed for an identified lesion (eg, pelvic mass, ovarian cyst) and risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) performed to decrease the risk of subsequent ovarian and breast cancer in women at increased genetic risk. Indications for USO/BSO for symptoms or suspected ovarian malignancy are detailed more completely in Chapter 11. Recommendations for RRSO should be based on the individual womans risk for ovarian cancer. In the recent report of the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists Clinical Practice Committee, Berek et al1 detail these risk groups. Women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations may reduce their risk of an associated gynecologic cancer by 96% and their risk of an associated breast cancer by 50% to 80% by undergoing RRSO after completion of desired childbearing. Women without a germline ...

Sep 27 2017, 10:00 AM From time to time, HCI invites guest commentary from our community. The views reflected in these commentaries are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the official views of HCI.. As an obstetrician diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Ive heard this many times: You are so lucky-you know all about cancer and could be diagnosed really early. Nothing could be further from the truth. Looking back, I actually had a lot of symptoms, but most were very vague and non-specific. Ovarian cancer can be hard to diagnose for this very reason.. In the spring of 2011, while traveling to present at scientific meetings, I began to feel unwell. I told myself that I didnt have time to be sick. But at some point I realized I spent more time lying down in my hotel rooms than attending the meetings. The only specific symptom I had was a dull pelvic pain that never seemed to go away. I treated myself (twice) for a bladder infection without improvement. (Ovarian cancer apparently ...

If youve been diagnosed with cervical or ovarian cancer, heres what you should know about robotic surgery from City of Hope cancer experts.

Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed kind of cancer and lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among all Americans. Using sunscreen and not smoking make these two cancers largely preventable.. For women, the second most deadly cancer is breast cancer, third is colorectal cancer. Among womens reproductive cancers, cancer of the endometrium - the tissue lining the uterus - is the most commonly diagnosed, followed by ovarian, vaginal, and vulvar cancers.. Breast cancer. Age and hormones play a big role in prevention of reproductive cancers in women. The hormone estrogen (and subtypes, such as estradiol) has a lot to do with breast cancer, although scientists are still exploring why. New research studies are finding that young girls who get plenty of exercise and eat calcium and soy foods may have lower risk for breast cancer later in their lives. Pre-menopausal women have lower risk if they have had children and breast-fed children; for this age group, being overweight seems not ...
