GYN malignancy Flashcards
what is endo CA
most common
- epithelial tumor
2 types of edno CA
type 1 - E dependent
type 2 E indep
risk factors for E dep
- obesty
- chronic anov (PCOS)
- unopposed E use
- tmoxifen
- early menarche/late meno
- Fam hx
prevention
avopid risk factors
screening for endo**
none
3 warning signs for endo
- post-meno bleeds
- irreg vag. bleeds
- abdo bloating, pain, bowel sx
diagnostic test for endo ca
- endo biopsy with pipelle instrument
- US is not appropriate replacement
morphology of type 1
- resembles normal endo
- increased gland to stroma
- cribiform architecture
- nuclear atypia
what is grading in endo
amount of solid area
- more solid area is worse
what can be seen in E dependent before
precursor lesions
4 types of lesions
simple vs. complex
with or without atypia
complex with atypia has 50% risk
2 types of type 2
serous (papillary)
clear cell
- both are high grade
morpho of serous
- papillary archi
- high grade nuclear
- macro nuleai
morpho of clear cell
- clear cytoplasm
- high nuclear grade
- various architecture
precursors for serous and clear cell
serous - endometrial intraepitheliam carcinoma
clear cell - none
4 prognostic factors
- myoinvasion
- lymphovascular invasion
- cervical invasion
- mets
mgmt of edno CA
surgical
outcomes for 2 types
type 1 - usually found early and cured
type 2 - usually found late and poor
etiology of cerv. CA
HPV- most only dev. sublincal infection
3 cofactors
- smoking
- immunocompromise
- OCP
2 types of cerv. prevention
1ry - avoid HPV and cofactors
2ry - paps
2 types of 2ry prevention
- traditional - pap smear
- liquid based cytology medium
- less false neg
- increase sens
tips for collection
- before bimanual
- don’t contam. with lube
- collect before STD swabs
- ensure visualization
what are challenges in cerv. screening
- high false neg
- less reduction in adenocarcinoma
- is opportunitic - relies on pt and halthcare provider
