Endometrial cancer arises from the lining of the uterus. The major risk factors include increased estrogen exposure unopposed by progesterone, obesity, and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. Symptoms include abnormal uterine bleeding, especially in postmenopausal women. Diagnosis is made by endometrial biopsy, which is recommended for women with risk factors or abnormal bleeding. Most cases are diagnosed early and treated with hysterectomy and radiation, resulting in high survival rates.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Basavarajeeyam is an important text for ayurvedic physician belonging to andhra pradehs. It is a popular compendium in various parts of our country as well as in andhra pradesh. The content of the text was presented in sanskrit and telugu language (Bilingual). One of the most famous book in ayurvedic pharmaceutics and therapeutics. This book contains 25 chapters called as prakaranas. Many rasaoushadis were explained, pioneer of dhatu druti, nadi pareeksha, mutra pareeksha etc. Belongs to the period of 15-16 century. New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

ASA GUIDELINE
NYSORA Guideline
2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
2. • Endometrial cancer arises from the lining of
the endometrium.
• Most tumors are adenocarcinomas.
• The precursor may be a hyperplastic state that
progresses to invasive carcinoma.
• Hyperplasia occurs when estrogen is not
counteracted by progesterone.
3. • Cancer of the endometrium is the most common
gynecologic malignancy.
• Approximately 47,000 newly diagnosed cases of
endometrial cancer and 8000 deaths occur
annually.
• Endometrial cancer has a relatively low mortality
rate, since most cases are diagnosed early.
• The survival rate is over 95% if the cancer has not
spread at the time of diagnosis
4. Etiology and Pathophysiology
• The major risk factor for endometrial cancer is
estrogen, especially unopposed estrogen.
• Additional risk factors include
increasing age, nulliparity, late menopause, obesity,
smoking, diabetes mellitus, and a personal or family
history of hereditary
• nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)
• Obesity is a risk factor because adipose cells store
estrogen, thus increasing endogenous estrogen.
5. • The cancer directly extends into the cervix and
through the uterine serosa.
• As invasion of the myometrium occurs, regional
lymph nodes, including the paravaginal and para-
aortic, become involved.
• Hematogenous metastases develop concurrently.
• The usual sites of metastases are lung, bone,
liver, and eventually the brain.
• Malignant cells can be found in the peritoneal
cavity, probably after transport through the
fallopian tubes
6. • Prognostic factors include histologic
differentiation, myometrial invasion,
peritoneal cytology, lymph node and adnexal
metastases, and tumor size.
• Endometrial cancer grows slowly,
metastasizes late, and is curable with therapy if
diagnosed early.
7. Clinical Manifestations
• The first sign of endometrial cancer is
abnormal uterine bleeding, usually in
postmenopausal women.
• it is important that this sign not be ignored or
attributed to menopause.
• Pain occurs late in the disease process.
• Other manifestations that may arise are
related to metastasis to other organs.
8. • Metastatic spread occurs in a characteristic
pattern.
• Spread to the pelvic and paraaortic nodes is
common.
• When distant metastasis occurs, it most
commonly involves the lungs, liver, bones,
brain, and vagina
9. Diagnostic measures
• Endometrial biopsy is the primary diagnostic test for
endome-
trial cancer.
• Endometrial biopsy is done on an outpatient basis.
• Any abnormal or unexpected bleeding in a postmenopausal
woman requires obtaining a tissue sample to exclude
endometrial cancer.
For women who have or are at risk of developing HNPCC, the
American Cancer Society recommends annual screening with
endometrial biopsy beginning at 35 years of age.
• The Pap test is not a reliable diagnostic tool for endometrial
cancer, but it can rule out cervical cancer
10. • Most cases of endometrial cancer are diagnosed
at an early stage when surgery alone may result
in cure.
• Treatment of endometrial cancer is a total
hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-
oophorectomy with lymph node biopsies.
• The lack of estrogen and progesterone receptors
is a poor prognostic indicator.
• Surgery may be followed by radiation, either to
the pelvis or the abdomen externally or
intravaginally, to decrease local recurrence
11. • No tumor markers with high sensitivity and
high specificity for endometrial cancer are
known at present, although CA-125 is often
used in clinical practice.
• CA-125 has been used in surveillance of
advanced endometrial cancer.
• In patients who have increased CA-125 values
pretreatment, this test might prove
useful in post treatment surveillance.
12. • Treatment of advanced or recurrent disease is
difficult.
• Progesterone HT (e.g., megestrol [Megace]) can
be used when the progesterone receptor status is
positive and the tumor is well differentiated.
• Tamoxifen (Nolvadex), either alone or in
combination with progesterone therapy, is also
effective in women with advanced or recurrent
endometrial cancer.
13. • Chemotherapy is considered when
progesterone therapy is unsuccessful.
• Agents used include doxorubicin (Adriamycin),
cisplatin (Platinol), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU),
carboplatin (Paraplatin), and paclitaxel
(Taxol)
