Diagnosing ovarian lesions is challenging because of their heterogeneous clinical presentations. Some benign ovarian conditions, such as endometriosis, can have features that mimic cancer. We use optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy …
Abstract Obesity is a major risk factor for endometrial cancer (EC), and glucagon like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists such as semaglutide may be helpful to achieve weight loss during conservative treatment or for EC prevention. Proges…
The heterogeneity in the pathological and clinical manifestations of ovarian cancer is a major hurdle impeding early and accurate diagnosis. A host of imaging modalities, including Doppler ultrasound, MRI, and CT, have been investigated to …
BACKGROUND: Pelvic pain has been associated with Essure, a permanent contraceptive implant. Here we describe histopathologic findings in long-term Essure users with chronic pelvic pain. METHODS: We descriptively evaluated and compared hist…
Ovarian cancer is a heterogeneous disease at the molecular and histologic level. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is able to map ovarian tissue optical properties and heterogeneity, which has been proposed as a feature to aid in diagnosis…
•A histologically low-grade cervical clear cell lesion was observed.•Proliferating cells were seen only at the periphery of this lesion.•Due to its low proliferation index, this may represent a precursor of clear cell carcinoma.•Further def…
Purpose To assess transvaginal coregistered photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and pulse-echo US for diagnosis of ovarian cancer based on functional parameters provided by PAT. Materials and Methods Between February 2017 and December 2017, 26 o…
