Raised triglycerides (TG) and reduced high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) are components of metabolic syndrome. Both high TG and metabolic syndrome have been reported to be risk factors of endometrial cancer. Therefore, triglycerides-to-high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-c
Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) is involved in a number of cellular regulatory mechanisms affecting cellular life span, stress resistance, apoptosis and cellular metabolism. Recent studies have revealed that SIRT1 plays a dual role as a tumor suppressor and a tumor promoter in multiple stages
Menopause is characterized by deep metabolic disturbances, including decreased insulin sensitivity, adiposity, and changes in lipid profiles. Estrogen replacement therapy can partially reverse these changes, and while it is safe in most healthy postmenopausal women, there are still existing concerns
OBJECTIVE
Temsirolimus (TEM) has recently shown activity (NCIC CTG phase II trial) in endometrial cancer (EC). Despite EC having a high rate of PTEN mutation, in this trial activity was independent of PTEN and other molecular markers. We explored whether treatment related toxicity occurring in cycle
BACKGROUND
Metabolic syndrome may predict endometrial cancer risk better than diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, dysglycemia, or weight alone, but few studies have examined this issue.
METHODS
We conducted a population-based case-control study in Alberta, Canada (2002-2006) that included 515
BACKGROUND
Metabolic syndrome and its component feature, central obesity, are associated with endometrial cancer risk. It remains unclear whether associations with the other metabolic factors that comprise metabolic syndrome are independent of the obesity-endometrial cancer association. Furthermore,
BACKGROUND
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome have a three-fold higher risk of endometrial cancer. Insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia may be pertinent factors in the pathogenesis of both conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate endometrial sterol regulatory element binding protein-1
This is a case report of chylous ascites after retroperitoneal aortocava lymphadenectomy for endometrial cancer. There are few reports of chylous ascites in gynecologic surgery. Treatment is primarily conservative. The present case was resolved with a low fat diet with medium-chain triglyceride
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the association between insulin-resistance-related conditions (comprising the metabolic syndrome) and endometrial cancer risk in Chinese women.
METHODS
We conducted a large case-control study including 942 endometrial cancers and 1721 controls on a Chinese population. The
One out of seven women will develop a state of chronic postoperative pain following robot-assisted hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. Recently, metabolic studies have indicated that circulating lipids and lipoproteins could act as nociceptive modulators and thereby influence the The effect of high dose medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on serum lipids, on adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and serum lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase activities were studied in 15 postmenopausal patients with endometrial cancer. After 2 weeks of MPA treatment total cholesterol
Hyperinsulinemia and the metabolic syndrome confer increased risks of endometrial carcinoma. The roles of insulin, and, insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) in the etiology of endometrial carcinoma, remain unclear. We recruited 206 patients with endometrial carcinoma and 350 healthy
Chylous leakage is caused by interruption of lymphatic vessels carrying triglyceride-rich lymph during para-aortic lymph node dissection in patients with gynecological malignancies. Our search of literature revealed no report like our case that the renal atrophy was late onset after healing of the
BACKGROUND
Insulin-sensitizing drugs (ISDs) have recently been advocated as possibly a safer and more effective long-term treatment than the oral contraceptive pill (OCP) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It is important to directly compare the efficacy and safety of ISDs versus OCPs
Blood lipids are useful biochemical indicators for assessing the risk of a number of chronic diseases, particularly those associated with obesity. In a multicenter case-control study that included 256 cases and 185 controls less than 75 years old, we studied the risk of endometrial cancer in
