Microinvasive cervical adenocarcinoma (FIGO stage 1A tumors): results of surgical staging and outcome analysis

The American Journal of Surgical Pathology

Abstract

Although studies suggest that microinvasive cervical adenocarcinoma has an excellent prognosis, none has reported treatment-related complications and many have lacked detailed measurement criteria. Our study looks at the rate of lymph node metastases and outcome, including complications, in patients with FIGO 1A1 and 1A2 adenocarcinomas of the cervix. Invasion was strictly defined, and the method of measurement was standardized. Villoglandular, papillary serous and clear cell carcinomas were excluded, as were tumors in which invasion exceeded 7 mm in width or 5 mm in thickness, with tumor thickness measured from the basement membrane of the overlying endocervical or ectocervical surface to the deepest focus of invasive tumor. A mean follow-up of 54 months (range, 5-159 months) was available for 31 of 32 (97%) patients. A total of 29 of 32 patients underwent hysterectomies, 2 patients had radical trachelectomies, and 1 patient was treated by cone biopsy. One patient received adjuvant radiotherapy. A total of 27 of 32 patients had bilateral pelvic lymph node dissections, and no lymph node metastases were identified. No recurrences have been reported to date. One patient died of metastatic ovarian carcinoma 82 months after her dia...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
