INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to determine preoperative risk factors for nonsatisfaction 1 year after hysterectomy for benign indication and to analyze whether multiple co-occurring preoperative risk factors increase the rate of nonsatisfa…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis has been associated with several risk factors for cancer, and population-based research has shown that women with endometriosis have a higher risk of several types of cancer. The aim of this study was to examine …

BACKGROUND: Risk prediction is an essential part of preventative medicine and in recent years genomic information has become an interesting factor in risk models. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) combine the effect of many genetic variations int…

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive methods to reduce menorrhagia were introduced in the 1980s and 1990s. Transcervical endometrial resection (TCRE) and endometrial ablation (EA) are two of the most frequently used methods. As none of them can…

BACKGROUND/AIM: To evaluate quality of life (QoL) in women treated for ovarian tumors one year after laparotomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The validated quality of life questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OV28) were sent to women who had und…

OBJECTIVE: Survival in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains poor. Most patients are diagnosed in late stages. Early diagnosis increases the chance of survival. We used the proximity extension assay from Olink Proteomics to search for new…

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether changes in the tissue expression of human epididymis-specific protein 4 (HE4) could predict therapy resistance and relapse after progestin hormone therapy for medium- and l…

UNLABELLED: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical value of preoperative blood levels of HE4 as a predictor of overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer and to validate previous data of HE4 and the ROMA algorithm including …

BACKGROUND: The aim was to evaluate whether patients with benign ovarian cysts, functional ovarian cysts, or endometriosis have an increased risk of developing gynecologic cancer. METHODS: The Swedish Hospital Discharge Register was used t…

Background. The aim was to evaluate whether patients with benign ovarian cysts, functional ovarian cysts, or endometriosis have an increased risk of developing gynecologic cancer. Methods. The Swedish Hospital Discharge Register was used to…

Using the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register, the authors identified all Swedish women born before 1970 who had been hospitalized for benign ovarian cyst (n = 42,217), functional ovarian cyst (n = 17,998), or endometriosis (n = 28,163). To…

Water availability on the continents is important for human health, economic activity, ecosystem function and geophysical processes. Because the saturation vapour pressure of water in air is highly sensitive to temperature, perturbations in…
