Detection of glycoprotein could identify ovarian and uterine cancers with poor prognosis (p 865)
Issue 13 September 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 12 September 2003. The detection of a specific protein molecule could help oncologists identify uterine and ovarian cancers with poor prognosis and thereby enable better disease management of women with aggressive uterine or ovarian cancer, suggest authors of a study in this week's issue of... view more...

Young early stage ovarian cancer patients can preserve fertility
A new study finds that young women with early-stage ovarian cancer can preserve future fertility by keeping at least one ovary or the uterus without increasing the risk of dying from the disease. view more (2009-08-10)
New research findings may enable earlier diagnosis of uterine cancer
Cancer is a genetic disease. It occurs when changes take place in the genes that regulate cell division, cell growth, cell death, cell signalling and blood vessel formation - either due to mutations caused by external factors such as smoking or radiation - or due to inherited changes. view more (2009-01-28)
Study identifies how tamoxifen stimulates uterine cell growth and cancer
UCSF researchers have identified a new "feed-forward" pathway linking estrogen receptors in the membrane of the uterus to a process that increases local estrogen levels and promotes cell growth. view more (2009-07-06)
Yale procedure cuts recurrence of aggressive uterine cancer
A state-of-the-art treatment program developed at Yale School of Medicine increases survival from the aggressive uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) and spares some patients the need for additional therapy. view more (2005-09-22)
Rochester study rolls out RU-486 to treat uterine fibroids
Low doses of the drug mifepristone shrink uterine fibroid tumors and greatly improve the quality of life in women who suffer from pain and heavy bleeding. view more (2006-12-07)
Penn researchers start new clinical trial to examine ways to improve treatment of uterine fibroids
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine are working on ways to improve the results of a non-surgical method to treat fibroids. view more (2006-05-30)
Major surgery no longer needed for the removal of uterine fibroids
The treatment of uterine fibroids with 3T MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is safe, non-invasive and effective, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, NY. view more (2008-04-14)
Black women with uterine cancers more likely to die than white patients
Black women with cancers of the uterus are less likely to survive the disease than white women, and relatively little progress has been made over the past two decades to narrow this racial difference. That is the conclusion of a new study published in the March 15, 2009 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. view more (2009-02-09)
Sonohysterography is an Alternative Diagnostic Tool for Women with Adenomyosis Suffering from Dysmenorrhea, Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding and Pelvic Pain
Sonohysterography (SHG), a simple ultrasound technique commonly used to evaluate the uterine cavity, improves the diagnostic capability of transvaginal ultrasound in detecting adenomyosis (a common benign condition of the uterus that causes dysmenorrhea, abnormal vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain), according to a study performed at the Thomas... view more...

Hormone mix could cut breast cancer risk and treat symptoms of menopause
The right combination of estrogen and a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), which blocks the effects of estrogen in breast tissue, could relieve menopause symptoms and cut breast cancer risk. view more (2009-10-20)
Two new studies reveal benefits of laparoscopic surgery for uterine cancer
In a pair of studies presented today at the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists 37th Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer, researchers have found in a large randomized trial of laparoscopy versus laparotomy for surgical treatment of uterine (endometrial) cancer that laparoscopy is safe, and when successfully completed reduces hospital stay by 50... view more...

Enhanced MR-guided focused ultrasound guidelines demonstrate improved efficacy and durability
Data released today show that MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a more effective option for a broader population of uterine fibroid sufferers. view more (2007-05-09)
Mayo Clinic study finds focused ultrasound treatment of uterine fibroids long term symptom relief
A noninvasive, outpatient treatment for noncancerous uterine tumors provides sustained relief from symptoms, according to a new Mayo Clinic led collaborative study. view more (2007-07-31)
Harmful chemicals may reprogram gene response to estrogen
New research shows that exposure to harmful chemicals and drugs during critical developmental periods early in life may actually "reprogram" the way certain genes respond to the female hormone estrogen. This genetic reprogramming may determine whether people with a genetic predisposition for a disease actually develop the disease. view more (2005-05-31)
Fibroids common, but women have options
Small fibroids located just beneath the lining of the uterus (submucosal) are more likely to move to the endometrial cavity after uterine artery embolization (UAE) but usually don't cause major complications, according to a new study. view more (2008-05-19)
Uterine cells produce their own estrogen during pregnancy
For decades, scientists assumed that the ovary alone produced steroid hormones during pregnancy. view more (2009-07-21)
Cow infections could provide clue to preventing infertility in women
Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College, London, have made a significant breakthrough in their understanding of how infection of the uterus damages fertility in cows. view more (2007-10-26)
Gap junction protein vital to successful pregnancy, researchers find
Researchers studying a critical stage of pregnancy - implantation of the embryo in the uterus - have found a protein that is vital to the growth of new blood vessels that sustain the embryo. Without this protein, which is produced in higher quantities in the presence of estrogen, the embryo is unlikely to survive. view more (2008-09-11)
Minimally invasive fibroid treatment fares well in multicenter trial
A new multicenter trial found that uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a good alternative to hysterectomy in women with symptomatic fibroids. The findings of the Embolisation versus Hysterectomy (EMMY) Trial appear in the March issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-02-26)
