Histopathology 6s - Gynae Flashcards
which part of the Fallopian tube is the most common site for ectopic?
Ampulla (isthmus most lethal)
Top 3 most common cancers affecting women worldwide
Breast
Lung
Bowel
HPV low risk and high risk subtypes?
High risk: HPV 16 &18
Low risk: HPV 6 % 11
How does HPV cause cervical dysplasia?? which proteins are involved?
The virus has 2 proteins: E6 + E7 which bind to and inactivate TSGs
E6 –> p53
E7 –> retinoblastoma
CIN I
CIN II
CIN III
CIN I = mild dyskaryosis, limited to lower 1/3 of epithelium
CIN II = moderate dyskaryosib, lower 2/3 of epithelium
cIN III = severe dyskaryosis, entire epithelium but BM intact
dysplasia of cervical glandular epithelium = ?
Cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia (CGIN), much rarer
What are the two types of cervical cancer?
SCC or adenocarcinoma
How is cervical cancer staged?
FIGO, staged 1-4
1 = confined to cervix 2 = involves uterus but NOT lower 1/3 of vagina nor pelvic wall 3 = involves pelvic wall or lower 1/3 vagina or hydronephrosis of kidney 4 = involves bladder/rectal mucosa or beyond true pelvis
Prognosis in stage 1 vs stage 4 cervical cncer
90% 5 year survival stage I
10% 5 year survival stage II
national vaccination programme for cervical cancer
girls aged 12
boys aged 13
offered Gardasil (quadrivalent vaccine)
what is the most common uterine tumour?

Subtypes of type I endometrial carcinoma
Endometrioid, secretory, mucinous adenocarcinoma
Subtypes of type II endometrial carcinoma
serous and clear cell
The genetic mutations needed for type I endometrial Ca
accumulation of >/= 4 mutations e.g. PTEN, p53, k-RAS
which type of endometrial Ca tends to express Her-2 receptor?
Type 2
FIGO staging endometrial ca (I-IV)
I: Confined to uterus
II: Spread to cervix
III: Adjacent spread (adnexae/ vagina/ LNs)
IV: Distant spread

Partial mole, complete mole, invasive mole, choriocarcinoma
Which type of mole can give rise to choriocarcinoma
Complete mole
In which type of mole do you still have some foetal tissue?
Partial mole (normal egg which is fertilised by two sperm or one sperm which duplicates its DNA) –> 69 XXY
