Clinicopathological features and prognostic factors for uterine myoma

Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the clinicopathological features of patients with uterine myoma and to analyze and summarize factors affecting patient prognosis.
 Methods: This study retrospectively investigated records of uterine myoma patients treated at Huzhou Central Hospital between June 2018 and May 2020. A total of 149 patients were included in this study, including 121 patients with good prognosis and 28 patients with poor prognosis. Clinical and pathological characteristics, including age, average body mass index (BMI), menopausal status, average lesion diameter, presence of hypertension or diabetes mellitus, operation method, myoma type, location, and quantity, number of fibroids, and presence of pelvic adhesion were analyzed via multivariate analysis.
 Results: Among the 149 patients with uterine uterine myoma, 92 had anterior wall uterine myoma, 36 had posterior wall uterine myoma, and 21 had uterine fundus uterine myoma. In terms of location, 94 cases were intramural and 55 cases were subserosal. Quantity-wise, 107 had 1-3 myomas while 42 had four or more. Moderate or more severe pelvic adhesions were present in 33 cases. Univariate analysis showed significant differences in age, operation method, myoma type, myoma location, myoma number, and pelvic adhesion severity between patients with good and poor prognosis. Multivariate analysis showed that age, surgical method, uterine myoma type, uterine myoma location, uterine myoma quantity, and pelvic adhesion severity were risk factors affecting the prognosis.
 Conclusion: Many prognostic factors, including age, operation method, myoma type, myoma location, myoma number, and pelvic adhesion severity are linked to uterine myoma patient prognosis.

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas

“…25,26 Several studies demonstrated that tumor size larger than 5 cm, incomplete tumor envelope, higher Ki-67 index, and aggressive behaviors are risk factors for recurrence. [27][28][29][30] Recently, a meta-analysis suggested that male sex, positive lymph nodes, R1 margins, and LVI, were associated with a significantly increased risk of recurrence in resected SPN. 31 Similar to previous studies, the recurrence rate was 1.8% and the overall 5-year survival rate was 97.7% in our study.…”

“…The recurrence rate after radical resection has been reported to be 2% to 10%, 23,24 with a median recurrence time of 23.6 to 50.5 months 25,26 . Several studies demonstrated that tumor size larger than 5 cm, incomplete tumor envelope, higher Ki-67 index, and aggressive behaviors are risk factors for recurrence 27–30 . Recently, a meta-analysis suggested that male sex, positive lymph nodes, R1 margins, and LVI, were associated with a significantly increased risk of recurrence in resected SPN 31 .…”

Evaluation of the effect of preoperative rectal misoprostol use on the postoperative outcomes of hysteroscopic myomectomy

“…Fibroids are usually asymptomatic, but around one‐third of women with fibroids will present with symptoms severe enough to necessitate treatment 5 . Uterine fibroids can cause abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic compression symptoms, pain and other effects that can lead to impaired fertility 6 . In women with symptomatic fibroids and infertility, uterine‐preserving treatments can be administered 7 .…”

“…Hysteroscopy/hysterectomy with myomectomy, laparotomy/laparoscopy with myomectomy, uterine artery embolization, and magnetic resonance‐guided ultrasound surgery are among the treatment approaches 8 . Age, surgical technique, fibroid type, fibroid location, number of fibroids, pelvic adhesion severity, and treatment approach are associated with prognosis 3,6 …”

“…5 Uterine fibroids can cause abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic compression symptoms, pain and other effects that can lead to impaired fertility. 6 In women with symptomatic fibroids and infertility, uterine-preserving treatments can be administered. 7 The choice of treatment for uterine fibroids is driven by various factors, including the patient's age, the desire to preserve fertility, and the desire to avoid "radical" surgery.…”
