We report the use of radical vaginal trachelectomy (RVT) with pelvic laparoscopic lymphadenectomy (LPL) in patients with early stages cervical cancer (FIGO stage IA2-IB1). This is a case series prospectively collected over a 6-year period (2011–2017) at the Ipswich hospital, UK. Cases were compared to a group of women with a similar stage of cervical cancer, but treated with radical hysterectomy (RH) and pelvic lymphadenectomy (PL). A total of 19 patients (group 1) underwent RVT and LPL, and 51 (group 2) had RH and PL. We included: 5/19 (26%) stage IA2 and 14/19 (74%) stage IB1. Among those, we had: 12/19 (63%) cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 7/19(37%) of adenocarcinoma. Mean hospital stay was 2.7 days (range 2–4) in group 1 versus 4.8 days (range 3–8) group 2 (p-value = 0.173). The complication rate was not statistically different between the two groups 4/19(21%) and 7/51(14%) (p-value 0.169). The mean follow-up period was 47.3 months (range 7–78) in both groups. There were no cases of recurrence in group 1 and 2/51(4%) cases in group 2, but the difference was not significant (p-value = 0.497). In our experience RVT in well-selected patients is a safe treatment option with similar oncological outcomes when compared to patients undergoing more extensive surgery for the same early stage cervical cancer.
Clinical factors, including age, smoking, treatment history, and status of surgical margins, could help to determine the risk of dysplasia recurrence and facilitate patient follow-up based on risk stratification.
We evaluated the association between risk factors for endometrial cancer (EC) and sonographic endometrial thickness (ET) with FIGO stages at diagnosis. We also reported our experience in reliability of sonographic ET as screening tool for either histologic subtype I and II of EC. It was a case series study including 339 patients diagnosed with EC from 2010 to 2017 at the Ipswich Hospital, UK. Women with higher body mass index (BMI) presented at earlier stages when compared to women with lower BMIs (
p
-value = .046). By contrast, none of the variables: parity (
p
-value = .1630), use of HRT (
p
-value 0.7448), tamoxifen (p-value 0.0733) and diabetes (p-value = .1665) were statistically associated to FIGO stages. The mean of ET measurement was not statistically significant associated (
p
-value 0.0625) to stages. There was no statistic difference on mean ET at diagnosis between histologic subtypes I or II (
p
-value 0.804). According to our experience, BMI is associated to FIGO stage and endometrial sampling (ES) should be included in the working diagnosis of EC to obtain an early diagnosis in women with high BMIs even in premenopausal. Ultrasonographic measurement of the endometrium is equally reliable at determining cancer, but not at differentiating histologic subtypes I and II uterine cancers. However, ET does not correlate to FIGO stages at diagnosis.
Electronic poster abstracts respectively. We found no significant difference in gestational age, gender ratio, MCV, red blood cell count, hematocrit, thrombocyte count, INR, and partial thromboplastin time. Conclusions: IUGR is a diagnostic challenge because fetal biometry has a 50% detection rate. Our results show that placental volume is more concordant with birthweight than placental weight. The estimation of placental volume via ultrasound could complete fetal biometry and a. umbilicalis flowmetry in diagnostic routine. These measurements could increase the accuracy of prediction of pregnancy outcome. We do encourage clinics and investigators to establish a percentile chart for placental volume.
