Paraaortic lymph node biopsy: a twenty-year study

Article Abstract:

Taking tissue samples from paraaortic lymph nodes to determine the spread of cancer in women with uterine or cervical cancer appears to be helpful in determining treatment and does not appear to increase surgical complication rates. Overall, 570 women had paraaortic lymph node biopsies in conjunction with surgery, of whom 90% had endometrial or cervical cancer. Only three women had complications related to the biopsy procedure. Most of the women with cancerous paraaortic lymph nodes subsequently received radiation treatment to this area.

The effect of transforming growth factor and interleukin-10 on interleukin-8 release by human amniochorion may regulate histologic chorioamnionitis

Article Abstract:

Interleukin-10 seems to stimulate the release of interleukin-8 in infected fetal membranes. Interleukins are components of the immune system. Researchers stimulated fetal membrane samples with various compounds, including interleukin-10, transforming growth factor and a bacterial component called lipopolysaccharide. In the presence of the bacterial component, interleukin-10 stimulated the production of interleukin-8 but transforming growth factor did not.

Combined use of magnetic resonance imaging, CA125 assay, histologic type, and histologic grade in the prediction of lymph node metastasis in endometrial carcinoma

Article Abstract:

Blood levels of CA125, the size, histologic type and histologic grade of an endometrial cancer can all be used to determine the risk that the cancer will spread to a woman's lymph nodes. This was the conclusion of a study of 214 patients. MRI scans can be used to determine the size of the tumor.
