Whatever the screening frequency, in both strategies, about 50% of costs were related to Self-HPV testing, while for the Self-HPV/VIA strategy, triage accounted for approximately 1% of costs. At equal frequencies, costs of precancerous treatment were higher in Self-HPV than Self-HPV/VIA strategies, due to high overtreatment rate of CIN1 in the absence of triaging. The costs of cancer treatment were comparable in both strategies. Conclusion Cost-effectiveness depends on the type and frequency of screening. These results may support decision-makers in selecting adequate screening strategies and frequencies according to their willingness to pay per QALY gained.
2022-VA-445-ESGO Figure 1 Conclusion We highlight in this video the identification and systematization of the most important anatomical structures and landmarks located in the presacral region with the aim of achieving a safe dissection during gynecologic cancer procedures.
Langerhans histiocytosis or Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare benign pathology representing less than 1% of orbital tumors. It can cause either localized or generalized lesions, leading to the destruction of hard and soft tissues. Eosinophilic granuloma is the most benign form and the predominant clinical presentation of LCH. We report a case of eosinophilic granuloma with orbital involvement in an 18-year-old male patient. Orbital radiotherapy was initially planned, but finally it was not performed due to a spontaneous regression of the lesion after the incisional biopsy. The presented case supports an expectant attitude given the possibility of a spontaneous regression after the biopsy, especially in small lesions. However, long-term follow-up is essential given the risk of recurrence.
effects, and improved self-care irrespective of age, partner status, or stage of disease. Women´s fear of cancer spread should be a central part of counselling at the time of diagnosis.
Background: Ovarian cysts are usually treated using medical or surgical interventions. However, in some cases, these treatments may not be feasible or effective, and alternative options need to be considered.
Case presentation: We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with a history of recurrent hemorrhagic ovarian cysts, who was on anticoagulant therapy due to tight mitral stenosis and had multiple autoimmune disorders. Surgical castration was not a viable option due to the bleeding risk, and intramuscular injection of analogues was not preferred. Therefore, external ovarian radiotherapy for hemostasis was planned.
Conclusion: Our case highlights that external ovarian radiotherapy can be an effective option for hemostasis in patients with bleeding ovarian cysts, especially when other treatments are contraindicated or have failed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
