[dua_frank] what can be used to assess if conservative management of a post menopausal adnexal cyst is working?
[drsujitvasanth] ?
[dua_frank] its obgyn today
[dua_frank] what test?
[dua_frank] hey megs
[megs] hi dua
[dua_frank] i'm so happy to see you
[megs] missed y day
[dua_frank] yeah, you can read the chat transcript on the forum megs, ive posted yesterdays
erum has joined subroom: USMLE_Step_1
[megs] i read dua
[dua_frank] obgyn today, Gynecological Neoplasia
[megs] ok
an_bo_al has joined subroom: USMLE_Step_1
[dua_frank] the test is USG to see the size of the mass which should ideally remain less than 5 cm, next best would be tumor marker CA 125
[drsujitvasanth] ah..
[drsujitvasanth] what would the conservative management be?
[dua_frank] removal
[dua_frank] surgical i mean
[dua_frank] first laproscopic evaluation and biopsy
[megs] what if cyst size is 5 cm in a pt of 34 yrs??
[dua_frank] then TAH with BSO
[megs] what will u do next??
[dua_frank] laproscopy
[megs] nope...
[dua_frank] cystectomy
[uniteus] hello everyone
[drsujitvasanth] hi uni...
[dua_frank] hi uni
[dua_frank] oh wait
[dua_frank] ocps?
[megs] chances in reproductive age ...of functional ovarian cyst
[megs] yup
[megs] ocps
[dua_frank] i tried almost everythng *)
[dua_frank] thats how bad i am at obgyn
[drsujitvasanth] whats an adenxal cyst anyways?
[drsujitvasanth]
[megs] adnexal mass is a term used for ...tubo.ovarian mass
[drsujitvasanth] ah...
[dua_frank] what could they mean?
[megs] it may be from tube, overy..or emb remnanets
[drsujitvasanth] ok so what would the first step in management?
[samantha] oral contra
[dua_frank] their existance may point toward ovarian abscess, dermoid cysts and sometimes malignancy
[samantha] ultra sound megs
[drsujitvasanth] ah ok..
[megs] yeas dua agree with u
[samantha] to see if simple or complex
[drsujitvasanth] so US, CEA and lap bx if over 5cm?
[dua_frank] over 7 mm in reproductive age
[megs] management of adnexal mass depend on age gr..
[drsujitvasanth] k..
[dua_frank] over 5cm in postmenopausal
[drsujitvasanth] 7 cm or mm?
[samantha] yes dua 7cm in repro age
[megs] postmenopausal ans prepubertal is ...always...considered harmful
[megs] yup dua
erum has joined subroom: USMLE_Step_1
[drsujitvasanth] thanks megs...
[drsujitvasanth] sory CA-125?
[drsujitvasanth] not CEA?
[dua_frank] yes
[drsujitvasanth] lol
[dua_frank] CEA is for colon? or pancreas?
[dua_frank] i always get confused
[drsujitvasanth] CEA non specific..
[dua_frank] oh
[dua_frank] great
[dua_frank] megs can you please tell us how to manage them according to age?
[drsujitvasanth] coloc and pancreas...i think...used to Follow up patuent not to diagnose...
[megs] both colon and p[ancreas dua
[dua_frank] hehe
[drsujitvasanth] CA125 ovaian...
[megs] ok
[samantha] but it says CA125 and CEA for epithelial ca
[megs] prepubertal...dd are germ cell tumours...so always explore surgically
[drsujitvasanth] i thinks thats epithelial ovarian Ca?
[samantha] yes sujit
[megs] iether do diagnostic laproscopic biopsy..followed by surgical exploration
[megs] ca 125 for epithelial ovarian ca
[megs] if benign cyst then cystectomy
[samantha] agree megs
[megs] and if germ cell t...then unilat salpingooophorectomy...try to conserve ovarian function if other overy is normal
hamilton27 has left the chat.
[drsujitvasanth] ah..
[megs] in reproductive age..cyst less than 7 cm ..observe and give ocps...generally fun cyst ressolves
[megs] if ovarian mass is complex...do oophorectomy
[drsujitvasanth] fun?
[uniteus] functional cyst
[drsujitvasanth] ah..
[drsujitvasanth] got it..
[drsujitvasanth] thanks megs that was really good..
[dua_frank] how about in postmenopausal age megs?
[uniteus] thx megs
[megs] post menopausal..if overy is clinically palpable it is pathological
[megs] as in menopause ovaries undergo atrophy
[drsujitvasanth] ah..
[samantha] yes megs
[megs] so any ovarian mass above 5 cm...in menopausal age gr...think of malignancy first
[megs] and exploratary laprotomy will be the management
[megs] what is surgical laparotomy???
[drsujitvasanth] got it...
[dua_frank] TAH with BSO?
[megs] or surgical staging i mean??
[samantha] for what megs
[samantha] ovarian ca?
[drsujitvasanth] is that wen you cut it out and the paholoist tells you the margins are clear? (guess)
[megs] what is staging laprotomy...all q means same..for ovarian mass sammy??
[megs] no sujit
[uniteus] u look for the spread when u do the lap
[drsujitvasanth] oh well :
[megs] yup uni
[drsujitvasanth] ah...
[dua_frank] so you stage and then cut
[samantha] see if it benign or malign on histo
[dua_frank] right megs?
[megs] after opening abd u take samles from omentum paracolic guters ..ascitic fluid and send them for histopath to know extent of tumour
[samantha] oh...yes
[megs] so that u can know the spread of ovarian mass..in peritoneal cavity
[megs] what is debulking surgery???
[dua_frank] you remove all that is infected with cancer
[dua_frank] including omenta, intestine
[megs] yup dua
[dua_frank] plus TAH and BSP
[dua_frank] BSO
[megs] remove as much as u can...
[drsujitvasanth] ah..
[megs] it is also known as cytoreductive surgery
m4ttjabz has left the chat.
[dua_frank] that was a nice explaination megs, thank you
[uniteus] yeah..thx megs
[drsujitvasanth] thanks
[megs] why u do debulking surgery???
[drsujitvasanth] palliation?
[megs] ju remove as much as tissue..so less tumour mass is remaining ...so the chemotherapy will be more effective
[drsujitvasanth] ah..
[megs] as chemotherapeutic agent has less cancer cells to act upon
[dua_frank] is there anything in particular you use for chemotherapy megs and for how long?
[megs] generally for ovarian..cisplatin +praclitaxel..are best drugs
[megs] u give 6 cycles of chemo
[dua_frank] cycles of how many months?
[megs] each cycle is 3 weekly
[megs] such 6 cycles
[dua_frank] so 6 months approx
[dua_frank] thanks megs
[drsujitvasanth] thanks megs...
[megs] yeah...gemnerally max pt respond to thhis
[dua_frank] can tamoxifen cause breast cancer?
[drsujitvasanth] ?
[drsujitvasanth] its a partial agonist....but id say no....
[drsujitvasanth] of estrogen
[dua_frank] right it doesnt
[drsujitvasanth] causes ebdometrial...
[drsujitvasanth] sometimes
[dua_frank] why can't you use this instead in ERT?
[megs] yes tamoxifene cause endometrial ca
[drsujitvasanth] ERT?
[dua_frank] estrogen replacement therapy
[megs] because its partial agonist...on some tissue it will act like estrogen like andometrium..
[dua_frank] oh
[megs] and on some tissue like antagonist...like breast..
[dua_frank] nice
[drsujitvasanth] ah..
[dua_frank] so another reason why it cannot be used
[drsujitvasanth] wow thanks mags
[drsujitvasanth] megs..
[dua_frank] apart from the fact that it cannot cure hot flashes and may cause DVT and risk of PE
[megs] ok i will ask tumour marker u tell me tumour

[dua_frank] in DM and HTN?
[drsujitvasanth] pcos assoc dm....
[dua_frank] thanks, i didn't know this association
[megs] hypetension i am not sure but think..that is asssoocoated with obesity

[dua_frank] what will you do if you detect dysplasia and carcinoma in pap smear?
[uniteus] cone biopsy
[megs] colposcopy
[lanny] agree megs
[dua_frank] colposcopic biopsy and ACC
[dua_frank] ECC
[uniteus] oops...thought she had colposcopy before sleeping again
[dua_frank] if it is atypia alone colposcopic biosy suffices
[dua_frank] lol uni
[lanny] cone biopsy is done to confirm mismatch bet cytology from the pap wmear
[uniteus] agree lanny...dat is wat i thought the q was
[megs] yes lany
[lanny] so its step wise
[dua_frank] i already said dysplasia and ca
[megs] what are the complications of cone biopsy??/
[drsujitvasanth] thanks...that cleared up a difficult topic
[uniteus] stenosis of cer os
[megs] cervical stenosis..incompitent cervix
[megs] yup uni
[lanny] dont get you dua
[megs] what is the treatment of microinvasive ca in non pregnant???

[megs] is pap done in a lady with history of hystercomy???
[lanny] loop electroderm excison procedure
[uniteus] thx
[lanny] yes
[dua_frank] yes

[uniteus] yes if she has cx
[megs] yeah its recommended...
[lanny] tell us why
[lanny] megs
[megs] even without cx too
[megs] they do it
[megs] as by pan smear we see for exfoliated cells
[drsujitvasanth] thanks megs...we are learning a LOT today!
[megs] which may be from vaginal walls too
[megs] or from remnanet of cervical tissue
[dua_frank] so we're basically looking to see if it has extended
[dua_frank] right megs?
[dua_frank] to the vagina
[dua_frank] or from vagina
[megs] yup dua...
[dua_frank] thanks
[lanny] thanks for bringing it up again remember last chat so much controversy!!!!
[megs] which imaging is included in staging of ca cx???
[lanny] CT MRI
[megs] they are not included lanny
[lanny] also clinical staging
[dua_frank] laproscopic?
[megs] IVP
[lanny] oh yes right
[dua_frank] :O
[dua_frank] nice
[dua_frank] why IVP?
[lanny] staging done at surgery
[megs] its high yield guys
[drsujitvasanth] good q megs...
[dua_frank] also cystoscopy and proctoscopy
[lanny] spread to organs
[drsujitvasanth] how does cervical ca cause uraemia?
[dua_frank] and CXR
[lanny] adjacent to cervix
[dua_frank] presses on ureters
[drsujitvasanth] huh?
[lanny] right dua
[megs] invasion of ureters ..obstructive uropathy...and uremia
[drsujitvasanth] oh ok...
[megs] agree dua
[drsujitvasanth] thus IVP...makes sense....
[drsujitvasanth] thanks megs..dua
[lanny] invasion meaning spreading and pressing as diua said
[drsujitvasanth] thanks lanny..
[drsujitvasanth] <- my anatomy is not good
[lanny] welcom sujit
[lanny] mine is rusty
[lanny] needs polishinglol
[megs] in microinvasive ca cx...what will be mode of delivery???
[drsujitvasanth] you can frget it now lol
[megs] vaginal or cs??
[lanny] vaginal
[megs] yup
[uniteus] vaginal
[dua_frank] megs can we go through the stage diagnostics wise?
[dua_frank] i want to get it clear
[lanny] me too dua
[megs] ok dua..u proceed
[dua_frank] first you do pap smear
[megs] yes
[dua_frank] if you find inflammation you treat
[dua_frank] pap again aftetr 3-6 months
[dua_frank] if negative it was just an infection
[megs] agree
[dua_frank] if positive colposcopic biopsy
[dua_frank] positive meaning atypia
[megs] dua want to add
[dua_frank] if you find dysplasia or carcinoma you do CB plus ECC
[dua_frank] you confirm by ECC then do cone biopsy
[dua_frank] please do megs
[megs] if cin 2 and 3
[megs] u can do hpv dna
[dua_frank] thanks megs, important point
[megs] if 16 18 31...hpv u do calposcopic biopy
[megs] but its an additional...
[dua_frank] you do schillers before cone biopsy, outlines margins better
[dua_frank] yes
[megs] rest u told is a perfect routine
[megs] we follow that
[lanny] megs for CIN 1 do we do HPV dna?
[dua_frank] what do you do with moderate dysplasias megs?
[megs] no lanny
[lanny] why not
[lanny] CIN 1 is mild mod dysp
[megs] MODERATE DYSPLASIA.. cin...2 we trat as cin 3...or severe like
[lanny] is it that HPV will cause severe dyspl
[dua_frank] with conization?
[megs] treatment of CIN 2 AND 3 IS SAME
[megs] CRYO CONIZATION LEEP

[dua_frank] sujit ovarian too
[drsujitvasanth] oh...
[dua_frank] the reason why women do not get ovarian cancers is due to protective progesterones
[drsujitvasanth] ok
[dua_frank] reason why PCO causes ovarian cans
[dua_frank] excess estrogens
[dua_frank] ovulation also reduces estrogen levels every month
[dua_frank] so protection is by ovulation and progesterone
[drsujitvasanth] oh ok....
[dua_frank] against excess estrogens
[dua_frank] but trauma to ovarian epithelium remains the mc cause of ovarian cas
[drsujitvasanth] Very productive session today.....

[dua_frank] ?
[drsujitvasanth] what does the book say?
[dua_frank] no book
[dua_frank] my doubt
[drsujitvasanth] im not sure about what you said about ovarian ca and estrogen....
[drsujitvasanth] ovarian ca risk is ovulation
[drsujitvasanth] not sure if oestrogen itself is a risk
[drsujitvasanth] (i have only been through first few gynae lectures)
[dua_frank] i am sorry
[dua_frank] i meant that for endocas
[dua_frank] not ovarian
[drsujitvasanth] no problem...

[drsujitvasanth] dont know dua?

[dua_frank] common symptom of vulvar ca?
[lanny] can you explain a bit dua
[lanny] pruritus
[drsujitvasanth] agree lanny
[dua_frank] yes lanny
[dua_frank] lanny ovarian cancers are radiosensitive
[dua_frank] esp dysgerminomas
[dua_frank] like cervical and other cas
[dua_frank] but we give RT in other cas not in ovarian
[dua_frank] reason why is that ovarian cas get big inside abdomen
[dua_frank] if you irradiated the abdomen you can damage the liver and kidneys too
[dua_frank] so you manage by surgery and chemo alone
[lanny] oh i see wow never thought of that so its the size of the tumor large com to cervical or endom..
[dua_frank] vulvar lesion, red with white crust, dx?
[lanny] pagets
[dua_frank] also approach lanny
[dua_frank] yes
[drsujitvasanth] good lanny!
[dua_frank] you approach transcervical for RT
[dua_frank] route i mean
[lanny] yes dua
[dua_frank] so the abdominal structures are protected
[dua_frank] unlike in ovaries where you have to approach from the abdomen
[lanny] and you cant go trans cervix for the ovaries
[dua_frank] right
[lanny] gotcha!
