The primary treatment is based on surgical and pathologic staging including extrafascial type A radical hysterectomy bilateral salpingo oophorectomy and pelvic and latero-aortic lymphadenectomy. Minimally invasive surgery is the most widely used technique. Sentinel node biopsy is part of this concept and has reached the management of endometrial cancer. The aim of this review is to describe the history, the different injection techniques and results of sentinel node biopsy, and analyse the future role of this technique in endometrial carcinoma.

It is generally accepted that its frequency among young women is low, being the most exposed those over 35 years old. Nevertheless, as gynecologic oncologists, we have been accompanying young patients to their death, mostly women with neither access to screening strategies nor timely or suitable treatment. Such a situation motivated the present analysis of our data on frequency, survival, and demography of cervical cancer collected at the referral cancer hospital of Buenos Aires City. Of 748 cases retrospectively assessed (2007-2011), 84.0% (n = 627) resided in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires; 76.9% (n = 576) were admitted at a locoregionally advanced stage. Regarding tumor size, 53.6% (n = 401) had tumors > 4 cm diameter and 24.2% (n = 181) > 6 cm. The lowest rates of disease-free survival and cause-specific survival were observed for tumor sizes &g...

Minimally invasive surgery is the most widely used technique. Sentinel node biopsy is part of this concept and has reached the management of endometrial cancer. The aim of this review was to describe the history, the different injection techniques and results of sentinel node biopsy, and analyze the future role of this technique in endo-metrial carcinoma.

In Argentina 5000 new cases are diagnosed each year, where more than 56% are in advanced stages. The aim of the present current opinion or critical review article is to remark the importance of the prognostic significance of the Central Tumor Size in stages IIB and IIIB cervical cancer, as well as to propose a new FIGO Staging System for Cervical cancer and trying to find out a role for the different therapeutic strategies for those cases.

The aim of this study was to report on the oncological and obstetrical outcome of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by fertility-sparing surgery, in patients diagnosed with cervical cancer ≥2 cm.MethodsThis was a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with cervical cancer measuring ≥2 cm to ≤6 cm, who were scheduled to undergo neo-adjuvant chemotherapy before fertility-sparing surgery, at six institutions from four Latin American countries between February 2009 and February 2019. Data collected included: age, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 stage, histology, tumor size, pre-treatment imaging work-up, chemotherapy agents and number of cycles, toxicity, clinical and imaging response rate, type of fertility-sparing surgery, pathology results, timing of lymphadenectomy, follow-u...

Data collected included clinical characteristics, neoadjuvant chemotherapy agents, treatment, obstetric and oncologic outcomes.ResultsThirty-three patients were included. Median age was 34 years (range 31–36). Twenty (60.6%) women were diagnosed at early stage (IB), and 13 (39.4%) with locally advanced stage (IIA–IIIB) according to FIGO 2009 classification. Carboplatin and paclitaxel was the most frequent combination used (60.6%). Partial and complete response rates were 27.3% and 9.1%, respectively. Median gestational age at delivery was 35 weeks (range 34–36). All patients had live births delivered by cesarean section. Obstetric pathology: pre-term labor, placen...
