Cervical Cancer

INTRODUCTION: This Consensus Statement on Cervical Cancer was offered to the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology by the Communications Division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Bethesda, Maryland, United States of America. The NIH Consensus Program Information Service asked our help to disseminate what they believe to be useful information for our readers.
The report was prepared by a panel of experts who considered scientific evidence presented at a Consensus Development conference at NIH. It contains recommendations and conclusions concerning Cervical Cancer.
NIH consensus conferences bring together researchers, practising physicians, representatives of public interest groups, consumers, and others to carry out scientific assessments of drugs, devices, and procedures in an effort to evaluate their safety and effectiveness.
Our oncology reviewers considered that this Consensus Statement was appropriate for the Journal and provided table 1 so that the details of the FIGO staging would add meaning to the section on treatment.     

子宫内膜癌诊断方法

子宫内膜癌是原发于子宫内膜的上皮性恶性肿瘤,是女性生殖道三大恶性肿瘤之一。近年来其发病率有上升的趋势,尤其围绝经期及绝经后妇女,发病率更高。其多表现为异常阴道出血或阴道排液等,特别是对有高危因素者,应考虑到有子宫内膜癌的可能。多年来,国内外众多学者也在不断地探索子宫内膜癌的诊断方法。辅助检查包括超声、电子计算机断层扫描（CT）、磁共振成像（MRI）、宫腔镜检查（HS）、子宫内膜活检术及子宫内膜细胞学检查（ECT）和肿瘤标记物的检测等,应联合多种辅助检查来明确诊断。综述有关该病诊断的最新研究进展。     

Cancer of the ovary

Ovarian carcinoma is one of the most lethal cancers in the Western world. It often presents at an advanced stage and the role of screening is not yet clear. In this article, we review the risk factors predisposing to ovarian carcinoma, the presentation, diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Radical surgery combined with platinum-based chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment. Despite developments in chemotherapy, including the use of taxanes, and increasing use of radical surgery, there have been only modest improvements in long-term survival. Further research is necessary to establish the most effective combination of chemotherapy and the role of radical surgery.
