AIM: The cervical and breast cancer screening programme to report the results between 2008 and 2010 at KETEM in Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Women’s Health Teaching and Research Hospital. METHOD: Populations of healthy women between 2008 and 2010 with a total of 5253 case were evaluated with community-based and opportunistic screening. The cervical cancer screened with the conventional cervical pap smear technique and breast cancer screened with two dimensional bilateral mammography and breast examination. RESULTS: Cervical cancer screening as a result of 65 (1.5%) patients had abnormal cytology and abnormal histopathological findings were found in a total of 24 of them. A gynecological examination and biopsy in one case with cervical cancer were detected. In the 4284 women screened for cervical cancer, ASC-US determined in 48 women (1.1%), AGC in four women (0.09%), LGSIL in five women (0.1%), HGSIL in two women (0.045%) and ASC-H in six women (0.14%). Although 234 and 664 women screened for breast cancer in year of 2008 and 2009 respectively, breast cancer didn’t find out. However, 10 women (0.9%) with breast cancer determined in 1164 screened women in year of 2010. CONCLUSION: Reduced the incidence of cervical and breast cancer and diagnosed at an early stage of tumor is obtained with screening programs in healthy society.

A model for predicting extrauterine tumor spread in patients with endometrial cancer Abstract Background: The factors predicting extrauterine spread in patients undergoing staging surgery with the diagnosis of endometrial cancer were investigated. Aims: The study aimed to create a model using demographic, surgical, and pathological factors to predict extrauterine spread. Methods: Included in the study were 355 patients with a final diagnosis of endometrial cancer who underwent surgery for staging purposes. The effect of surgical-prognostic factors on extrauterine spread was analyzed using univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: Extrauterine spread was detected in 97 patients. A multivariate logistic regression model that was created to determine the factors affecting extrauterine spread identified the presence of lymphovascular invasion, cervical invasion, peritoneal cytology positivity and tumor type as independent factors. A model was created using these four independent risk factors. According to this model, the rate of extrauterine spread was 6.4% in patients who did not have the risk factors and 100% in patients who had all the risk factors (p
