BACKGROUND: CESC is the second most commonly diagnosed gynecological malignancy. Given the pivotal involvement of metabolism-related genes (MRGs) in the etiology of multiple tumors, our investigation aims to devise a prognostic risk signature rooted in cancer stemness and metabolism. METHODS: The stemness index based on mRNA expression (mRNAsi) of samples from the TCGA dataset was computed using the One-class logistic regression (OCLR) algorithm. Furthermore, potential metabolism-related genes related to mRNAsi were identified through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA)...

Across cervical squamous and glandular lesions, a spectrum of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes has been identified. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary detailing the distribution and profile of HPV genotypes detected in cervical lesions, leveraging insights from histological and cytological findings. High-risk HPV (HR-HPV) genotypes exhibit varying degrees of oncogenic potential, with HPV16 and HPV18 identified as the most prevalent and oncogenic types. The distribution of HR-HPV genotypes varies among different degrees of the cervical lesions and varies between squamous and glandular neoplasia...

Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAS) is a rare subtype of mucinous adenocarcinoma characterized by gastric differentiation and is unrelated to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. This report discusses a 40-year-old female who presented with abdominal distension accompanied by increased abdominal circumference. CT of the abdomen and pelvis showed a large 21.0*12.7*26.0 cm mass later diagnosed as GAS combined with squamous cell carcinoma on surgical pathology. Immunohistological staining of GAS was positive for CK7, MUC6, PAX-8 CEA, and P53 (wild type) and negative for CDX2, CK20, ER, PR, P16, and WT1...

The Silva pattern-based classification of HPV-associated endocervical adenocarcinoma has become an integral part of the histologic assessment of these tumors. Unfortunately, the Silva system reproducibility has had mixed results in past studies, and clinical practice still favors the FIGO stage assessment in directing therapeutic interventions for patients. In our study, we aimed to assess our institution's concordance including not only gynecologic pathologists, but also pathology trainees through a series of 69 cases...

Methylation and hydroxymethylation of cytosine moieties in CpG islands of specific genes are epigenetic processes shown to be involved in the development of cervical (pre)neoplastic lesions. We studied global (hydroxy)methylation during the subsequent steps in the carcinogenic process of the uterine cervix by using immunohistochemical protocols for the detection of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) in paraffin-embedded tissues of the normal epithelia and (pre)malignant lesions. This approach allowed obtaining spatially resolved information of (epi)genetic alterations for individual cell populations in morphologically heterogeneous tissue samples...

BACKGROUND: The cervix is the lower portion of the uterus, which connects this organ to the vagina through the endocervical canal. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the histopathologic patterns and factors associated with cervical lesions at Jimma Medical Center from September 12, 2017, to September 12, 2019. METHODS: A 2-year facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May 1 to June 30, 2020. RESULT: In this study, cervical cancer was the most common (71%) cause of cervical lesions...

BACKGROUND: Cervical stump malignancies are an uncommon finding post subtotal hysterectomy. Tumors arise from a primary cervical origin with an incidence of 1-5%. Other described malignancies can include uterine origin, ovarian origin or as metastases from another primary site. A uterine primary is an extremely rare entity and can result from remnant endometrial tissue at the stump apex. CASE: 70yo female with a history of remote supracervical hysterectomy for benign indication who presented with postmenopausal spotting...

BACKGROUND: Human cervix adenocarcinoma (CC) caused by papillomavirus is the third most common cancer among female malignant tumors. Bioactive compounds such as cyclodipeptides (CDPs) possess cytotoxic effects in human cervical cancer HeLa cells mainly by blocking the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and subsequently inducing gene expression by countless transcription regulators. However, the upstream elements of signaling pathways have not been well studied. METHODS: To elucidate the cytotoxic and antiproliferative responses of the HeLa cell line to CDPs by a transcriptomic analysis previously carried out, we identified by immunochemical analyses, differential expression of genes related to the hepatocyte growth factor/mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (HGF/MET) receptors...

BACKGROUND: Diagnosing atypical glandular cells (AGC) is a significant challenge in cytomorphology. METHODS: A retrospective study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of AGC and the subsequent histological outcomes over 5 years at a single institution. RESULTS: A total of 159,649 ThinPrep Pap tests, including 395 cases of AGC, were retrieved, of which 330 AGC cases had follow-up histopathology. Among these 330 cases, 43.9% were classified as AGC not otherwise specified, followed by AGC-endocervical cells at 33...

High-grade neuroendocrine cervical cancers (NETc) are exceedingly rare, highly aggressive tumors. We analyzed 64 NETc tumor samples by whole-exome sequencing (WES). Human papillomavirus DNA was detected in 65.6% (42/64) of the tumors. Recurrent mutations were identified in PIK3CA, KMT2D/MLL2, K-RAS, ARID1A, NOTCH2, and RPL10. The top mutated genes included RB1, ARID1A, PTEN, KMT2D / MLL2, and WDFY3, a gene not yet implicated in NETc. Somatic CNV analysis identified two copy number gains (3q27.1 and 19q13.12) and five copy number losses (1p36...

INTRODUCTION: Infectious affections are the most frequent post-operative complications, the rate have been reducing due to the administration of perioperative antibiotics and they are rarely serious. They are usually associated to pelvic collections, fistulas, urinary tract stenosis and, exceptionally, necrotizing fasciitis (FN) and pelvic organ necrosis. There is no well-codified treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 42-year-old female patient, was referred to our department for a stage IIIC2 adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix...

Gastric metastasis (GM) from cervical cancer is extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the English literature. Gastric-type mucinous adenocarcinomas (GAS) of the uterine cervix are rare. GAS is an aggressive cancer commonly found in advanced stages; however, GM has not been reported. This study presents a rare case of GM from GAS of the uterine cervix in a 61-year-old female and describes the radiological findings of both the GM and cervical mucinous adenocarcinoma. GM appeared as a poor enhancing submucosal mass...

BACKGROUND: We aimed to determine whether surgical aortic staging by minimally invasive paraaortic lymphadenectomy (PALND) affects the pattern of first recurrence and survival in treated locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients when compared to patients staged by imaging (noPALND). METHODS: This study was a multicenter observational retrospective cohort study of patients with LACC treated at tertiary care hospitals throughout Spain. The inclusion criteria were histological diagnosis of squamous carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, and/or adenocarcinoma; FIGO stages IB2, IIA2-IVA (FIGO 2009); and planned treatment with primary chemoradiotherapy between 2000 and 2016...

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women, and its pathological change is a relatively slow process. If it can be detected in time and treated properly, it can effectively reduce the incidence rate and mortality rate of cervical cancer, so the early screening of cervical cancer is particularly critical and significant. In this paper, we used Raman spectroscopy technology to collect the tissue sample data of patients with cervicitis, Low-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion, High-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion, Well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, Moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, Poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and cervical adenocarcinoma...

Cancer incidence is increasingly seen in younger individuals. Molecular distinctions between young and elderly patients at onset are understudied. This study used public databases to explore genomic, transcriptomic, and immune-related features across age groups in cervical cancer. Additionally, it aims to create a prognostic model applicable across diverse age cohorts, enabling precise patient stratification, and personalized therapies. Gene mutations, expression data, and clinicopathological information were obtained from 317 cervical cancer patients...

BACKGROUND: CA19-9 is a tumor marker for gastrointestinal and biliary-pancreatic adenocarcinomas; however, its association with thyroid cancer is unknown. Here, we report a case of CA19-9 producing locally advanced papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). CASE PRESENTATION: A 66-year-old woman who was identified with a thyroid tumor after a close examination of an elevated serum CA19-9 level, which was detected at health screening, was referred to our hospital.
