The first Swedish National Guidelines for Ovarian Cancer (NGOC) were published in 2012. We aimed to evaluate surgical outcomes and survival in patients with stage IIIC-IV disease, before and after the NGOC implementation.

Women with primary epithelial ovarian cancer, FIGO stage IIIC-IV, registered in the Swedish Quality Registry for Gynecologic Cancer 2008-2011 and 2013-2016 were included. Surgical outcomes were analyzed, including frequency of complete cytoreduction (R0). Relative survival (RS) and excess mortality rate ratios (EMRRs) were computed as measures of survival. Univariable and multivariable regression (Poisson) were calculated.

In total, 3728 women were identified, 1746 before and 1982 after NGOC. After adjusting for age and stage, survival was improved 2013-2016 vs. 2008-2011 (EMRR 0.89; 95%CI0.82-0.96, p<0.05). For women undergoing primary debulking surgery (PDS), R0 frequency (28.9% vs. 53.3%; p<0.001) and 5-year RS (29.6% (95%CI26.8-32.8) vs. 37.4% (95%CI33.6-41.7)) were increased, but fewer patients (58% vs. 44%, p<0.001) underwent PDS after NGOC implementation. Median survival for the PDS cohort increased from 35months (95%CI,32.8-39.2) to 43months (95%CI,40.9-46.4). In the neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT)+interval debulking surgery (IDS) cohort, R0 increased (36.8% to 50.1%, p<0.001), but not 5-year RS (17.5% vs. 20.7%, ns). Compared to PDS, the EMRR was 1.32 (95%CI,1.19-1.47, p<0.001) for NACT+IDS and 3.00 (95%CI,2.66-3.38, p<0.001) for chemotherapy alone. In multivariable analyses, PDS, R0, age≤70years, and stage IIIC were found to be independent factors for improved RS.

Implementation of the first National Guidelines for Ovarian Cancer improved relative survival in advanced ovarian cancer.

Several types of molecular mechanisms are associated with the progression of gynecologic cancers. Among it can be referred to the most widely studied non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), specifically microRNAs (miRNAs) and long ncRNAs (lncRNAs). As yet, lncRNAs are known to serve key biological roles via various mechanisms, such as splicing regulation, chromatin rearrangement, translation regulation, cell-cycle control, genetic imprinting and mRNA decay. Besides, miRNAs govern gene expression by modulation of mRNAs and lncRNAs degradation, suggestive of needing more research in this field. Generally, driving gynecological cancers pathways by miRNAs and lncRNAs lead to the current improvement in cancer-related technologies. Exosomes are extracellular microvesicles which can carry cargo molecules among cells. In recent years, more studies have been focused on exosomal non-coding RNAs (exo-ncRNAs) and exosomal microRNAs (exo-miRs) because of being natural carriers of lnc RNAs and microRNAs via programmed process. In this review we summarized recent reports concerning the function of exosomal microRNAs and exosomal long non-coding RNAs in gynecological cancers.Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of preventable blindness world-wide. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the most common cause of moderate vision loss in patients with diabetes. Although treatments for DME have improved significantly over the past decades, the burden of this disease remains high for patients and the healthcare system alike. The role of the primary care provider is critical in the prevention and prompt referral for management of DME.The new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) epidemic spread rapidly throughout the world. Considering the strong infectivity and clustering of COVID-19, early detection of infectious cases is of great significance to control the epidemic. Nucleic acid testing (NAT) plays an important role in rapid laboratory diagnosis, treatment assessment, epidemic prevention and control of COVID-19. However, since COVID-19 is caused by a new emerging virus and NAT for COVID-19 has not been clinically applied before, false negative results inconsistent with clinical diagnosis have appeared in clinical practice. Solutol HS-15 Therefore, it is urgent to improve the sensitivity of NAT for COVID-19. This study aimed to summarize the current situation and prospect of NAT based on the latest findings on COVID-19 infection. Also, the quality control of sample collection was discussed. Hopefully, this study could help to improve the effectiveness of NAT for COVID-19.
National information on the oncological results of gastric cancer surgery is scarce, so foreign figures are used, which may completely differ from local ones. The aim of our study is to analyse these results in the patients operated on in our centre.

Survival results of 134 patients that underwent gastric cancer surgery with curative intent from 2004 to June 2016 were analysed.

A percentage of 76.8 of the patients (103/134) presented in advanced clinical stages (≥ii). Staging laparoscopy was performed in 67% of them (69/103), an extensive lymphadenectomy (≥LD1+) was carried out in 89.3% of patients (92/103), and 76.7% (79/103) received perioperative chemotherapy. The distribution by pathological stage 0, i, ii, iii and iv was 8.2, 20.2, 26.1, 37.3, and 8.2%, respectively. Median follow-up was 87 months. Median OS was 68 months and one-, 3- and 5-year OS were 81.2, 62, and 53.8%, respectively. The 5-year OS according to pathological staging was 100% for stage 0, 88.4% for stage i, 62.5% for stage ii, 23.6% for stage iii and 17% for stage iv.

Our survival rates are in the high ranges of western literature. These results could not be compared with national ones due to the lack of information regarding oncological outcomes in gastric cancer surgery in our closest environment.
