Ultrasound to Detect Endometrial Cancer and Endometrial Intraepithelial Neoplasia in Patients Without Abnormal Bleeding
In women without abnormal uterine bleeding undergoing transvaginal ultrasound, endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia or endometrial cancer was associated with a thicker endometrium, heterogenous echotexture, more frequent endometrial cysts, and increased vascularity.

The Pseudogestational Sac of Ectopic Pregnancy: Does it Really Matter?
In this retrospective cohort study of 1,236 women, the rate (2.2%) of ectopic pregnancy was rare among women with a fluid collection (or pseudosac) in the uterus. The size of the fluid collection was not predictive of ectopic pregnancy. The presence of an intrauterine fluid collection decreased the risk of ectopic pregnancy (adjusted relative risk, 0.09; 95% confidence interval, 0.05-0.19) after adjusting for age and the presence of bleeding.

New Guidelines Reinforce Need for Change in Cervical Cancer Screening Practice
Screening standards for cervical cancer have changed over the past two decades, including several updates since the first consensus guidelines, published in 2001 by the American Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology. The 2020 revision is based on data showing that patients’ risk of developing cervical precancer or cancer can be estimated using screening test results, biopsy results, and consideration of personal patient factors.

Should Metronidazole Be Added Routinely to Treatment Regimens for PID?
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial compared ceftriaxone (250 mg intramuscular once) and doxycycline (100 mg orally twice per day for 14 days) with and without metronidazole (500 mg orally twice per day for 14 days) for the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease.

Molecular Analysis of Endometrial Cancer Corresponds With Outcomes in Young Women
SYNOPSIS: In this retrospective cohort study, researchers studied the prognosis and outcomes for young women with endometrial cancer and compared them according to tumor molecular classification.

Science Focuses on the Use of Metronidazole for Endometriosis
Researchers are exploring the use of metronidazole for the treatment of endometriosis, which affects up to 10% of U.S. women between the ages of 25 and 40. The current treatment options include hormone therapy and surgery, but these approaches involve significant side effects and recurrence of the condition after treatment.

Researchers Examine Postmenopausal Bleeding and Endometrial Cancer
To inform clinical decision-making, investigators performed an analysis looking at the frequency of postmenopausal bleeding in endometrial cancers and the risk of endometrial cancer among women who have postmenopausal bleeding.

Obesity and Endometrial Cancer
Obesity is a major risk factor for endometrial cancer as well as for other major comorbidities.

Who Needs an Endometrial Biopsy?
In this retrospective cohort study of premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding, obesity, as opposed to age, was the most significant predictor of complex hyperplasia or cancer on endometrial biopsy.

Finding New Clinical Activity in Endometrial Cancer from Optimizing Molecular Pathways
Everolimus, combined with letrozole, produced unexpected clinical activity in a cohort of previously treated recurrent endometrial cancer patients.
