Postpartum hemorrhage with pelvic arterial embolization,study of 33 cases

Objective: To describe our cases of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) with pelvic arterial embolization (PAE).

Material and methods: All patients with PPH who underwent PAE in our center in the interval 2011–1016 were retrospectively studied, evaluating the technical procedure, clinical results, and subsequent fertility.

Results: There were 33 cases of PPH with PAE. The majority occurred in primiparous women (N?=?22, 66.6%) who delivered vaginally (N?=?20, 61%). In addition, most PPH with PAE cases had an early onset (N?=?26, 79%) and were caused by uterine atony (N?=?14, 42.4%). Success of PAE occurred in 27 (81.8%) cases and a satisfactory clinical follow-up was the rule, with 21 (64%) women recovering their normal menstruation, and six (18.2%) becoming pregnant in the following years.

Conclusions: PAE is a safe and efficacious technique with minor complications. Moreover, it allows conservation of the uterus with preservation of fertility.     

Quantitative Detection of Screening for Cervical Lesions with ThinPrep Cytology Test

OBJECTIVE To investigate the available parameters in gynecological screening for cervical lesions by liquid-based cytology technology (ThinPrep Cytology Test, TCT) and The Bethesda System (TBS), also with computer image analysis. METHODS With application of the image analysis system, all grades of cervical lesion cells were detected quantitatively and sorted in atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), atypical squamous cells-cannot exclude HSIL (ASC-H), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with the mean optical density (MOD), average grey (AG), positive units (PU), and nucleus to cytoplasmic ratio (N:C). Differences between each group of cells were compared and analyzed statistically.RESULTS Apart from four stereologic parameters in LSIL and HSIL groups there were no differences among them, in the other groups, there was statistically significant in differences between MOD, AG and PU values. Differences between them in the ratio of nucleus to cytoplasm were highly statistically signifi cant. CONCLUSION Stereological indexes may serve as a screening tool for cervical lesions. The image analysis system is expected to become a new means of cytological assisted diagnosis.     

Role of 3D sonohysterography in the investigation of uterine synechiae/asherman's syndrome: Pictorial assay

Several imaging methods have been applied for evaluation of suspected uterine synechiae; however, sonohysterography is yet recognised as a valid and accurate modality. Performing three‐dimensional (3D) imaging along with sonohysterography enables evaluation of the uterus in the coronal plane to detect and grade the adhesions that characterise this condition. Thus, 3D sonohysterography is a minimally invasive and cost‐effective tool for investigating suspected synechiae and is particularly useful when the transvaginal sonography findings are normal.

Tisotumab vedotin in Japanese patients with recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer: Results from the innovaTV 206 study

New treatments, particularly second‐line options, are needed to improve outcomes for patients with recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer (r/mCC). Tisotumab vedotin (TV) is an antibody–drug conjugate directed to tissue factor, a transmembrane protein commonly expressed in cancer cells, to deliver cytotoxic monomethyl auristatin E. This single‐arm, open‐label phase 1/2 trial evaluated the consistency of safety and efficacy outcomes of TV in Japanese patients with r/mCC to bridge the current findings with those reported in previous trials in non‐Japanese patients in the United States and Europe. In part 1 (dose escalation; N = 6), patients with advanced solid tumors received TV 1.5 or 2.0 mg/kg once every 3 weeks to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Part 2 (dose expansion; N = 17) evaluated the RP2D in r/mCC patients with 1–2 prior lines of therapy. In part 1, no dose‐limiting toxicities were observed, the MTD was not reached, and TV 2.0 mg/kg was established as the RP2D. In part 2, the most common treatment‐emergent adverse events were anemia (58.8%), nausea (58.8%), alopecia (47.1%), epistaxis (47.1%), and diarrhea (35.3%); adverse events of special interest were bleeding (76.5%), ocular events (35.3%), and peripheral neuropathy (17.6%), and were mostly grade 1/2. In part 2, confirmed objective response rate was 29.4%, median duration of response was 7.1 months, and median time to response was 1.2 months. In Japanese patients with r/mCC, TV demonstrated a manageable and tolerable safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy profile consistent with that observed in non‐Japanese patients.

Prognostic Significance of Epithelial–Stromal Vascular Cuffing and Microvessel Density in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix

Objective. Tumor angiogenesis has been shown to play an important role in tumor growth and metastasis. This study examines the prognostic significance of two histological markers of angiogenesis, i.e., vascular cuffing (VC), a bead-like arrangement of microvessels closely surrounding microscopic tumor nests, and microvessel density (MVD), the number of microvessels in a unit area, in cervical squamous cell carcinoma.Methods. One hundred twenty-two specimens from surgically resected uteri with cervical squamous cell carcinoma were histologically reviewed and immunostained for CD34. VC was graded into “none,” “incomplete,” and “complete.” The MVD was determined by counting the microvessels with a light microscope within a ×200 field area where neovascularization occurred most actively. Stromal inflammation was also split into three grades. The relationship of VC or MVD to clinicopathological prognostic factors such as FIGO stage, cervical stromal invasion, lymph–vascular space invasion, pelvic lymph node metastasis, and parametrial invasion was evaluated using univariate and multivariate analyses.Results. The patients with a complete VC pattern showed a significantly worse prognosis compared to those with a pattern graded as either none or incomplete (P < 0.011 and P < 0.0001, respectively). The Cox regression analysis revealed the complete VC pattern, together with parametrial invasion, to be an independent prognostic indicator for overall survival. MVD and the grading of stromal inflammation showed no significant relationship with VC or overall survival.Conclusions. The complete VC pattern may therefore be a useful prognostic indicator in cervical squamous cell carcinoma.     

The treatment of uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC): are we doing the right thing?

Abstract. Tay EH, Ward BG. The treatment of uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC): are we doing the right thing?
In an earlier study ⁽¹⁾ of 21 patients with uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC), Ward et al . found a poor 3-year survival, even for patients with surgically documented localized disease, and a high rate of recurrence outside the field of treatment. Eight years later, we performed a retrospective study on 67 patients who were treated initially by surgery, which included the 21 patients previously reported, to evaluate any changes in the management approach since 1990 and its impact on the survival of such patients. The clinical characteristics of patients treated before and after 1990 were similar. However, after 1990, more patients had omentectomy and complete surgical staging (42% vs. 17%); chemotherapy was more widely used (63% vs. 33%); all chemotherapies were platinum-based regimens and less radiotherapy was administered (47% vs. 83%). The overall 3-year survival was 43% and 5-year survival was 35%, with a median survival period of 31 months. There was no significant difference in the survival outcome between patients managed before and after 1990, after adjusting for stage and spread of disease. Based on the results of this retrospective study, it appears that the current treatment strategy has not resulted in an improvement in the survival of patients with UPSC.
