Abstract
|
|
|
In this review, we summarized 14 major clinical advances in gynecology which occurred in 2008. For cervical cancer,
clinical impact of HPV vaccine, prognostic value of imaging during radiotherapy, and oncologic/obstetric outcomes of
fertility-sparing surgery were chosen. For uterine cancer, optimal method of adjuvant radiotherapy in intermediaterisk
patients, extent of lymph node dissection, outcome of robot-assisted staging surgery, new standard chemotherapy
regimen for leiomyosarcoma were selected. For ovarian cancer, recent changes in adjuvant therapy, feasibility of
neoadjuvant chemotherapy, prediction of optimal secondary cytoreduction, studies on new biomarkers, advances in
screening and treatment of women with BRCA mutations were included. For other cancers, the safety of sentinel
lymph node dissection in vulvar cancer and chemotherapy regimens for low-risk gestational trophoblastic tumors
were reviewed.
