Download or read book Challenging Cases in Gynecologic Surgical Pathology written by Ozlen Saglam and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zusammenfassung: Challenging Cases in Gynecologic Surgical Pathology discusses unusual clinical cases and uncommon presentations of usual diagnostic entities. The book is divided into four sections that contain over 14 years of teaching material from major academic institutions and cancer centers. The pathology case presentations are from different anatomical sites of the gynecological tract, including ovary and fallopian tubes, uterine corpus, cervix, and vulva. The chapters within each section contain epithelial, mesenchymal, or germ cell tumors and mimickers of cancer. Each case title has a brief clinical correlation at the end. The sample cases therein may be diagnostically challenging for practicing pathologists in routine practice or relatively recently described entities. The intent of the book is not a complete review of gynecologic pathology. Instead, the focus is on unusual patterns of common gynecologic pathology cases and uncommon tumors of the gynecological tract with their relevant clinical work-up and differential diagnosis. The case illustrations provide a practical approach to diagnosing challenging gynecologic cancers. The aim is to be a valuable resource for practicing general pathologists and pathology trainees who encounter complicated cases in daily practice

Download or read book Noninvasive Molecular Markers in Gynecologic Cancers written by Debmalya Barh and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2015-01-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early detection is critical for any given cancer. With the advent of the latest omics technologies, molecular markers in combination with conventional diagnostic and screening methods are emerging as next-generation early diagnostic and prognostic strategies that can allow early-stage diagnosis, resulting in more effective treatment and patient care and, in turn, an increased rate of survival. A ready-made resource, Noninvasive Molecular Markers in Gynecologic Cancers not only provides information on noninvasive molecular diagnostic biomarkers, it includes coverage of the epidemiology, clinical features, conventional diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for these cancers. With contributions from leading international experts, the book presents a compact but comprehensive overview of gynecologic cancer. Each of the five main gynecologic cancers—ovarian, cervical, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar—have unique signs and symptoms, risk factors, and molecular profile, and therefore requires different prevention strategies. This book describes the different features of each gynecologic cancer in separate chapters covering general information, epidemiology, clinical features, and biomarkers. The book also covers breast cancer and, although rare, fallopian tube cancer, to make it a complete resource. In cancer treatment, non-invasive diagnosis can avoid complications of biopsy and other unfavorable impacts on patients’ health. DNA, methylation, SNPs, miRNA, mRNA, protein, autoantibodies, metabolite, and omics-based markers from remote media such as blood, plasma, and urine are emerging as noninvasive molecular markers with high specificity and sensitivity towards many cancers. This book classifies the available molecular tumor markers according to their principal characteristics and relative methodologies. It covers markers that not only provide early detection and better treatment options, but are emerging as next-generation personalized diagnostics and targets or therapeutics for personalized cancer treatment.
Download or read book Influence of Race ethnicity and Measures of Healthcare Access on the Incidence Stage at Diagnosis and Survival of Rare Gynecologic Cancers in California Women written by Amanda Blithe Hawkins and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rare gynecologic cancers represent 3.4% of all cancers of women in the US and may disproportionately affect specific demographic groups due to access to healthcare. In California, the gynecologic cancers that meet the NCI criteria of rare cancer are ovarian, cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and other gynecologic cancers. The influence of race/ethnicity and measures of healthcare access on incidence, risk of late stage at diagnosis, and 5-year cancer site-specific survival rates for all rare gynecologic cancers were examined in the large and racially diverse population of the California Cancer Registry from 1988-2009. Factors of healthcare access were measured by SES, health insurance status, and US-born status. We found that the association between healthcare access and rare gynecologic cancer outcomes varied by cancer site, cancer outcome, race/ethnicity and the particular measure of healthcare access. Proportional incidence of HPV-related cancers were increased for women with low SES, especially NH Whites. Private insurance and US birthplace status decreased proportional incidence by race/ethnicity for all rare gynecologic cancer sites. Risk of late stage at diagnosis for HPV-related cancers varied by measures of healthcare access. Race/ethnicity and insurance status were the most important predictors of ovarian cancer late-stage risk while private insurance was associated with lower risk of late stage at diagnosis for other female genital organ cancers. Cervical and ovarian cancer survival were associated with race/ethnicity, SES and insurance status. The risk of death for all rare gynecologic cancers, except other gynecologic cancers, was reduced for women born outside the US.
