endometrial neoplasms/headache

Pogostemon cablin (PC) is a traditional herbal medicine used in the treatment of the common cold, nausea, diarrhea, and even for headaches and fever. However, the mechanisms underlying the anti-proliferative activity of PC in endometrial cancer (EC) cells have yet to be fully elucidated. This study

BACKGROUND Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with a dismal outcome. Most patients relapse in intracranial sites and <5% of patients relapse in extracranial sites. Here, we present the first case of PCNSL with an adrenal relapse. UNASSIGNED A

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement by endometrial carcinoma is uncommon. Among 1069 patients registered for endometrial carcinoma at our institution between 1982 and 1994, 10 (0,9%) developed brain metastases. Median age at the time of CNS metastasis diagnosis was 59 years. Median interval

The gonadal steroids--estrogens and androgens--appear to have a mood-elevating, psychotonic effect. The improved sense of well-being and increased vigor probably is engendered by restoration of somatic efficiency and psychic equilibrium. 1. The male climacteric, as observed in a limited number of

A 66-year-old woman with a history of stage IA mixed endometrioid and serous endometrial cancer presented to our centre with 2 weeks of worsening headaches nearly 4 years after her initial surgery. At admission, she manifested bitemporal hemianopsia, difficulty walking and clinical and laboratory

In the absence of significant extracranial disease, patients with solitary brain metastases have shown benefit with resection. Brain lesions due to endometrial cancer are uncommon, and the only described skull base involvement is limited to the pituitary gland. We report the case of a 60-year-old

OBJECTIVE To assess the knowledge of the risks and benefits of oral contraceptives (OCs) in a heterogeneous group of women and to identify their sources of information. METHODS A self-administered questionnaire assessing demographics, contraception history, knowledge of risks and benefits of OCs,

Oral contraceptives (OC) are either composed of a combination of an estrogen derivative (usually ethinly estradiol) and a progestogen, or they contain a progestogen only. OC are characterized by a high effectiveness and have a low failure rate if taken correctly. Most women tolerate OC relatively

BACKGROUND Most Phase II clinical trials utilize a single primary end point to determine the promise of a regimen for future study. However, many disorders manifest themselves in complex ways. For example, migraine headaches can cause pain, auras, photophobia, and emesis. Investigators may believe

FDA has approved medroxyprogesterone acetate as Depo Provera Contraceptive Injection, effective for 3 months in preventing pregnancy in women. In clinical studies, the drug's failure rate was less than 1%. However, physicians must ensure that patients receive injections on schedule to prevent

The development of brain and central nervous system (CNS) metastases from primary gynecologic cancers is an extremely uncommon but deadly process. Through this retrospective case series of patients treated at a single institution from 2004 to 2018, we aim to explore potential clinical patterns of

In western countries more than 30% of the female population are postmenopausal. Approximately 30% of postmenopausal women suffer from clinical symptoms of the climacteric such as vasomotor symptoms, associated with hot flushes, night sweat, insomnia and depressive mood. Sufficient hormonal

Estrogen replacement therapy is effective for the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis and should be offered to all women at high risk for osteoporosis. Such therapy is particularly beneficial for prevention of spinal compression fractures; in addition, it alleviates menopausal

Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) is a frequent, underreported and underdiagnosed condition. Ospemifene is a third-generation Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) that has been shown to be effective in women with VVA and dyspareunia, vaginal dryness and vulvar vestibular symptoms. Some of the
