    Abstract We report a case of undifferentiated carcinoma of the endometrium associated with malignant mixed Müllerian tumour of the uterine cervix. Immunohistochemical analysis with multiple markers was performed to demonstrate the coexistence of highly two aggressive components in the same uterus. Clinical data were collected and followed up, and a careful literature review was performed to establish the occurence of these components in a uterine malignancy.

    Abstract Objective: Atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AH) is the neoplastic precursor more often associated with endometrial cancer (EC). Nowadays, 25-50% of patients subjected to hysterectomy for preoperative AH are diagnosed with EC at the final pathological analysis. Furthermore, there is no consensus on which preoperative AH patients would benefit from sentinel lymph node mapping. This study aimed to evaluate nodal assessment and preoperative cancer risk factors in preoperative AH patients undergoing nodal surgical staging.
    Methods: Patients undergoing surgical treatment for AH were retrospectively included in the analysis. Patients were divided into two groups (AH and EC groups) based on the final surgical pathology. The ESGO/ESTRO/ESP risk classification was used for EC cases.
    Design: This was a retrospective study.
    Results: Of the 207 AH patients treated, 152 cases met the inclusion criteria. Among preoperative AH patients with final EC diagnosis, 39 patients were in the low-risk group (25.7%), 8 in the intermediate-risk group (5.3%), 4 in high-intermediate (2.6%), and 3 patients were allocated in the high-risk group (2.0%). Fifty-four total patients underwent nodal surgical staging. Only one nodal micrometastasis (0.7%) was found at ultrastaging. Multivariate analysis showed abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) (p = 0.01), hypertension (p < 0.01), and endometrial thickness ≥20 mm (p = 0.02) statistically more represented in patients with EC at final surgical analysis. EC risk was 2.9 (95% CI: 1.29-6.48) in AUB, 2.7 (95% CI: 1.06-6.92) in hypertension, and 3.1 (95% CI: 1.19-7.97) in endometrial thickness ≥20 mm cases.
    Limitations: The present study has limitations inherent in its retrospective nature.
    Conclusion: The overall risk of nodal metastases in preoperative AH patients was low. Conversely, 9.9% of the preoperative AH patients belonged to the intermediate or high-risk group for EC at the final histological examination. Preoperative cancer risk factors would identify AH patients for whom nodal staging could be suggested.

    Abstract Objective: The main objective of the study was to assess the influence of different clinical and therapeutic variables on the oncological outcomes of patients with endometrial cancer relapse. In particular, we evaluated the impact of cytoreductive surgery with the achievement of complete gross resection.
    Methods: This is a multicenter retrospective cohort study conducted in three centers in Italy and including all patients with first relapse of endometrial cancer from January 2010 to December 2021.
    Results: Data from 331 women with recurrent endometrial cancer were analyzed. Secondary cytoreductive surgery was performed in 56.2% of cases (186 patients). Complete gross resection was achieved in 178 patients (95.7%). Complete gross resection conferred a statistically significant survival benefit both for post-relapse survival and post-relapse free survival (3 years post-relapse survival: 75.4% vs 56.4%, p<0.001; 3 years post-relapse free survival: 32.6% vs 26.5%, p=0.027). At multivariate Cox regression analysis, age ≥75 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status ≥2, the advanced-metastatic risk group, complete gross resection, and multiple site relapses were identified as independent significant predictors for post-relapse survival; regarding post-relapse free survival, only age ≥75, the high and advanced-metastatic risk groups, and complete gross resection confirmed their statistical significance.
    Conclusions: Secondary cytoreductive surgery with achievement of complete gross resection was confirmed to be an independent positive predictor for survival in patients with recurrent endometrial cancer and should be considered a valid primary treatment in the therapeutic decision-making process.

    Abstract Introduction: The historical approach to LEER is laparotomic, but recently laparoscopy has been proposed. The objective of this study was to compare surgical and oncological outcomes between the two approaches and to assess the overall quality of life (QoL).
    Materials and methods: Women submitted to LEER between October 2012 and March 2020 were retrospectively recruited. Peri-operative data were analyzed and compared. Recurrence-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30, QLQ-CX24, and QLQ-OV28 questionnaires were administered 6 months after surgery in women with no evidence of recurrence after LEER.
    Results: Of the included 41 patients, 20 were submitted to laparoscopic LEER (L-LEER) and 21 to open LEER (O-LEER). Median operating time (442 vs 630 min, p = 0.001), median blood loss (275 vs 800 ml, p < 0.001), and median length of hospital stays (10 vs 16 days, p = 0.002) were shorter in the laparoscopic group, while tumor resection rate and peri-operative complications were similar. After a median follow-up of 27.5 months, no differences, in terms of DFS (p = 0.83) and OS (p = 0.96) were observed between the two approaches. High functional scores and low levels of adverse symptoms were observed on the surviving women.
    Conclusion: QoL after LEER is acceptable, and laparoscopy provides better surgical and similar oncological outcomes when compared to laparotomy. L-LEER can be considered a further option of treatment for women with gynecological tumors infiltrating the pelvic sidewall.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of concurrent endometrial cancer in patients pre-operatively diagnosed with atypical endometrial hyperplasia undergoing hysterectomy. Additionally, we assessed the occurrence of high to intermediate-risk and high-risk tumors according to the ESGO-ESTRO-ESP classification. The study also compared surgical outcomes and complications between patients undergoing simple hysterectomy and those undergoing hysterectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy.
    Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, patients with a pre-operative diagnosis of atypical endometrial hyperplasia were identified and divided into two groups: Group 1, which included patients treated with total hysterectomy with or without bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and Group 2, where sentinel lymph node biopsy was incorporated into the standard surgical treatment.
    Results: Among 460 patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia, 192 received standard surgical management (Group 1) and 268 underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy (Group 2). A total of 47.2% (95% CI 42.6% to 51.7%) of patients were upgraded to endometrial cancer on final histopathological examination. High to intermediate-risk and high-risk tumors constituted 12.3% and 9.2% in Group 2 and 7.4% and 3.7% in Group 1. Lymph node metastases were identified in 7.6% of patients with concurrent endometrial cancer who underwent nodal assessment with at least unilateral mapping. Of the 12 sentinel lymph node metastases, 75.0% were micrometastases, 16.7% macrometastases, and 8.3% isolated tumor cells. No significant differences were found in estimated blood loss, operative time, and intra-operative and post-operative complications between the two groups. The rate of patients undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy doubled every 2 years (OR 2.010, p<0.001), reaching 79.1% in the last 2 years.
    Conclusion: This study found a prevalence of concurrent endometrial cancer of 47.2%, and sentinel lymph node biopsy provided prognostic and therapeutic information in 60.8% of cases. It also allowed for the adjustment of adjuvant therapy in 12.3% of high to intermediate-risk patients without increasing operative time or complication rates.

    Abstract Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents a safe and feasible option for the surgical treatment of gynecologic malignancies, offering benefits, including reduced blood loss, lower complications, and faster recovery, without compromising oncological outcomes in selected patients. MIS is widely accepted in early-stage gynecologic malignancies, including endometrial cancer, cervical tumors measuring 2 cm or less, and early-stage ovarian cancer, considering the risk of surgical spillage. Despite its advantages, MIS does not rule out the possibility of adverse events such as postoperative infections. This retrospective study on 260 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery at Parma University Hospital for gynecologic malignancies explores the incidence and risk factors of postoperative infectious complications. The Clavien-Dindo classification was used to rank postoperative surgical complications occurring 30 days after surgery and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) recommendations put into practice. In our population, 15 (5.8%) patients developed infectious complications, predominantly urinary tract infections (9, 3.5%). Longer surgical procedures were independently associated with higher postoperative infection risk (

    Abstract Ovarian cancer (OC) remains a significant health challenge globally, with high mortality rates despite advancements in treatment. Emerging research suggests a potential link between OC development and genital dysbiosis, implicating alterations in the microbiome composition as a contributing factor. To investigate this correlation, a meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines, involving eight studies encompassing 3504 patients. Studies investigating the role of upper and inferior genital tract dysbiosis were included, with particular reference to HPV infection and/or history of pelvic inflammatory disease. The analysis revealed no significant difference in genital dysbiosis prevalence between OC patients and healthy controls. Although previous literature suggests associations between dysbiosis and gynecologic cancers, such as cervical and endometrial cancers, the findings regarding OC are inconclusive. Methodological variations and environmental factors may contribute to these discrepancies, underscoring the need for standardized methodologies and larger-scale studies. Despite the limitations, understanding the microbiome's role in OC development holds promise for informing preventive and therapeutic strategies. A holistic approach to patient care, incorporating microbiome monitoring and personalized interventions, may offer insights into mitigating OC risk and improving treatment outcomes. Further research with robust methodologies is warranted to elucidate the complex interplay between dysbiosis and OC, potentially paving the way for novel preventive and therapeutic approaches.
