Is there a role for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in early invasive cervical carcinoma?
No full textObjective: The purpose of this study was to determine if a survival advantage may exist from neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by radical surgery in early invasive (Stage IBI and IIA) cervical carcinoma. Methods: Using information from studies published on the topic of NACT in cervical carcinoma along with baseline control rates of standard treatment and patterns of failure, an estimate of how many patients with early invasive cervical cancer would benefit from this procedure was calculated. Results: NACT followed by tailored radical surgery could result in a significant decrease (about 40%) in recurrence rate (13 vs 22%) and ultimately in survival compared to conventional treatment in early invasive cervical cancer. Moreover the introduction of NACT in all patients should result in a 75% decrease of adjuvant radiotherapy (10 vs 40%), and probably in a decrease in Surgical and radiation related complications. Conclusion: A fraction of patients with early invasive cervical cancer (high-risk Stage IB-IIA cervical cancer) Could benefit from NACT followed by tailored radical surgery. A randomized controlled trial to test this research question is very difficult due to the large Population required. A subset population is identified which may benefit from NACT
Concomitant abdominal and intrauterine pregnancy after in vitro fertilization in a woman with bilateral salpingectomy. A case report.
No full textBACKGROUND: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare event, and the concomitant presence of
an intrauterine pregnancy is very exceptional.
CASE: A case of concomitant abdominal and intrauterine pregnancy following in
vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) occurred in a woman with
bilateral salpingectomy. The abdominal pregnancy was successfully treated
surgically, with preservation of the intrauterine pregnancy.
CONCLUSION: A careful ultrasound examination should be performed on women who
have undergone IVF-ET, and the possibility of abdominal pregnancy should be kept
in mind in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen
