Contrast-enhanced ultrasound for ovary assessment in a murine model: preliminary findings on the protective role of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue from chemotherapy-induced ovarian damage

Massimo Venturini, Alice Bergamini, Laura Perani, Ana Maria Sanchez, more

European Radiology Experimental > 2018 > 2 > 1 > 1-9

The prolonged, gonadotoxic effect of chemotherapy can finally lead to infertility in female cancer survivors. There is controversial evidence regarding the protective role of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRH-a) on chemotherapy-induced ovarian damage. In the present study on a murine model, ultrasound (US) and contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) were firstly used to characterise ovarian glands...

CVIR Endovascular > 2018 > 1 > 1 > 1-6

Background Choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumor but with a good prognosis due to the valid response to systemic chemotherapy. We present a case of a young woman affected by a giant pelvic arterio-venous fistula following a metastatic gestational choriocarcinoma, conditioning metrorrhagia and pulmonary embolism, successfully treated by multimodal transcatheter embolization, using a simultaneous...

Chemotherapy-related damage to ovarian reserve in childhood cancer survivors: interpreting the evidence

Edgardo Somigliana, Monica Terenziani, Francesca Filippi, Alice Bergamini, more

Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics > 2019 > 36 > 2 > 341-348

Chemotherapy during childhood damages ovarian reserve and can affect future fertility. However, recent large epidemiological studies showed that the detrimental impact on fertility is less severe if women seek for pregnancy at a younger age. To explain this observation, we hypothesize that the detrimental effects of previous chemotherapy on the ovarian reserve may be attenuated in young adults for...

The MITO 16A- MaNGO OV2A phase 4 trial evaluates the outcomes of first-line CPB in a clinical-practice-like setting. Here we present the results of the subgroup of patients undergoing IDS after neoadjuvant treatment or suboptimal primary surgery.400 chemonaïve epithelial ovarian cancer patients, age≥18, ECOG PS...

Brain metastases in patients with EOC: Clinico-pathological and prognostic factors. A multicentric retrospective analysis from the MITO group (MITO 19)

Claudia Marchetti, Gabriella Ferrandina, Gennaro Cormio, Angela Gambino, more

Gynecologic Oncology > 2016 > 143 > 3 > 532-538

Brain metastases (BM) from epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are considered a rare and unfavourable event. There is no consensus regarding the best management of these patients.A multicenter retrospective analysis of patients with BM from EOC treated between 1997 and 2014 in 18 institutions of the MITO (Multicenter Italian Trials in Ovarian cancer) group was conducted. Univariate and multivariate analysis...

Characteristics of clear cell ovarian cancer arising from endometriosis: A two center cohort study

Giovanna Scarfone, Alice Bergamini, Stefania Noli, Antonella Villa, more

Gynecologic Oncology > 2014 > 133 > 3 > 480-484

Endometrioid and clear cell ovarian tumors have been referred to as “endometriosis associated ovarian cancers”. However, very few studies have compared clinical and prognostic features of endometriosis-associated cancers or cancers not associated with endometriosis according to specific histotypes. We have investigated clinical and histological features of the largest published series of clear cell...

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research > 40 > 4 > 1132 - 1136

Malignant degeneration of endometriosis in the inguinal region is rare, and has only been reported in six cases in the literature, none of which was detected during pregnancy. We present the first case of endometriosis‐associated adenocarcinoma in the inguinal region in a 34‐year‐old woman who was 35 weeks' pregnant. The tumor rapidly grew in the last 2 months of pregnancy as a left inguinal painful...

Inhibition of Phosphodiesterase 4 Enhances Clitoral and Vaginal Blood Flow Responses to Dorsal Clitoral Nerve Stimulation or PGE1 in Anesthetized Female Rats

Fabio Castiglione, Alice Bergamini, Andrea Russo, Giovanni La Croce, more

The Journal of Sexual Medicine > 10 > 4 > 939 - 950

Introduction.Cyclic adenosine 3′5′ monophosphate (cAMP) is produced by adenylate cyclase after activation by, e.g., vasoactive intestinal polypeptide or prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). The cAMP‐degrading phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) is expressed in the vagina and clitoris, but no information is available on the functional role for PDE4‐related signals in the female neurovascular genital response. Aim.The...
