Relationship of human papillomavirus with seborrheic keratosis of the female genital tract-a case-series and literature review Universiteit Gent

Shatavisha Dasgupta, Rachel Van Eersel, Beth Morrel, Henk A. M. van den Munckhof, Vera A. de Geus, Nick M. A. van der Hoeven, Miekel M. van de Sandt, Marta Piso-Jozwiak, Wim G. V. Quint, Irene A. M. van der Avoort, et al.
Seborrheic keratoses (SKs) are benign lesions of uncertain etiology, which can develop in both genital and extra-genital locations. For genital SKs there has been conjecture about the pathogenic role of human papillomavirus (HPV), in view of the frequent association of this virus with genital lesions. In light of the potential consequences on patient management, we investigated the relationship between HPV and SKs of the female genital tract ...

Extrauterine mesonephric-like neoplasms : expanding the morphologic spectrum Universiteit Gent

Ellen Deolet, Iteeka Arora, Jo Van Dorpe, Joni Van der Meulen, Sudha Desai, Nadine Van Roy, Baljeet Kaur, Koen Van de Vijver, W Glenn McCluggage
Mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas (MLA) are rare neoplasms arising in the uterine corpus and ovary which have been added to the recent 2020 World Health Organization Classification of Female Genital Tumors. They have similar morphology and immunophenotype and exhibit molecular aberrations similar to cervical mesonephric adenocarcinomas. It is debated as to whether they are of mesonephric or Mullerian origin. We describe the clinical, pathologic, ...

Incidence and persistence of carcinogenic genital human papillomavirus infections in young women with or without Chlamydia trachomatis co-infection Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Henrike J Vriend, Johannes A. Bogaards, Jan E. A. M. van Bergen, Antoinette A T P Brink, Ingrid V. F. van den Broek, Christian J. P. A. Hoebe, Audrey J. King, Marianne van der Sande, Petra F G Wolffs, Hester E. de Melker, et al.

We assessed whether infection with chlamydia increases the incidence of carcinogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and if HPV persistence is affected by chlamydia co-infection. For 1982 women (16-29 years-old) participating in two consecutive rounds of a chlamydia screening implementation trial, swabs were polymerase chain reaction tested to detect chlamydia and 14 carcinogenic HPV genotypes. HPV type-specific incidence and ...

No evidence for cross-protection of the HPV-16/18 vaccine against HPV-6/11 positivity in female STI clinic visitors Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Petra J. Woestenberg, Audrey J. King, Marianne van der Sande, Robine Donken, Suzan Leussink, Fiona R. M. van der Klis, Christian J. P. A. Hoebe, Johannes A. Bogaards, Birgit H. B. van Benthem

OBJECTIVES: Data from a vaccine trial and from post-vaccine surveillance in the United Kingdom have suggested that the bivalent HPV-16/18 vaccine offers cross-protection against HPV-6/11 and protection against anogenital warts (AGW). We studied the effect of the bivalent vaccine on genital HPV-6/11 positivity and AGW in the Netherlands.

METHODS: We included all vaccine-eligible women from the PASSYON study, a biennial cross-sectional ...

Guidelines on chemotherapy in advanced stage gynecological malignancies Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Nikolaos P. Polyzos, Davide Mauri, John P.A. Ioannidis

BACKGROUND: Clinical practice guidelines are important for guiding practice, but it is unclear if they are commensurate with the available evidence.

METHODS: We examined guidelines produced by cancer and gynecological societies and organizations and evaluated their coverage of and stance towards chemotherapy for advanced stage disease among 4 gynecological malignancies (breast, ovarian, cervical, endometrial cancer) where the evidence ...

Cure of cancer for seven cancer sites in the Flemish Region Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Gent

Geert Silversmit, David Jegou, Evelien Vaes, Elke Van Hoof, Els Goetghebeur, Liesbet Van Eycken

Cumulative relative survival curves for many cancers reach a plateau several years after diagnosis, indicating that the cancer survivor group has reached "statistical" cure. Parametric mixture cure model analysis on grouped relative survival curves provide an interesting way to determine the proportion of statistically cured cases and the mean survival time of the fatal cases in particular for population-based cancer registries. Based on the ...

Gynecologic cancers in pregnancy Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen

F. Amant, P Berveiller, Ingrid A Boere, Elyce Cardonick, Robert Fruscio, Monica Fumagalli, Michael J Halaska, A Hasenburg, A L V Johansson, M Lambertini, et al.

We aimed to provide comprehensive protocols and promote effective management of pregnant women with gynecological cancers. New insights and more experience have been gained since the previous guidelines were published in 2014. Members of the International Network on Cancer, Infertility and Pregnancy (INCIP), in collaboration with other international experts, reviewed existing literature on their respective areas of expertise. Summaries were ...

Assessment of herd effects among women and heterosexual men after girls-only HPV16/18 vaccination in the Netherlands: a repeated cross-sectional study Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Petra J. Woestenberg, Johannes A. Bogaards, Audrey J. King, Suzan Leussink, Marianne van der Sande, Christian Jpa Hoebe, Birgit Hb van Benthem

Data on the impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination on the population HPV prevalence are largely obtained from women. We assessed the impact of the girls-only HPV16/18 vaccination program in the Netherlands that started in 2009, on trends in HPV prevalence among women and heterosexual men, using data from the PASSYON study. In this cross-sectional study, the HPV prevalence among 16- to 24-year-old visitors to sexually transmitted ...

Endometrial carcinosarcoma Universiteit Gent KU Leuven

G Bogani, I Ray-Coquard, N Concin, NYL Ngoi, P Morice, G Caruso, T Enomoto, K Takehara, Hannelore Denys, D Lorusso, et al.
Endometrial carcinosarcoma is a rare and aggressive high-grade endometrial carcinoma with secondary sarcomatous trans-differentiation (conversion theory). The clinical presentation and diagnostic work-up roughly align with those of the more common endometrioid counterpart, although endometrial carcinosarcoma is more frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage. Endometrial carcinosarcoma is not a single entity but encompasses different histological ...
