Populational trends and outcomes of postoperative radiotherapy for high-risk early-stage cervical cancer with lymph node metastasis: concurrent chemo-radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone
Pelvic lymph node metastasis carries the highest impact on decreased survival among surgical-pathological risk factors for early-stage cervical cancer. While concurrent administration of chemotherapy during postoperative radiotherapy is the current standard treatment for surgically-treated high-risk early-stage cervical cancer, its effectiveness specific to node-positive disease has not been completely studied.

Incidence of Abnormal Cervical and Vaginal Cytology among Women over Age 65 Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have higher rates of abnormal cervical and vaginal cytology and, subsequently, of cervical and vaginal cancers. While professional bodies currently advocate for indefinite cytology screening for women living with HIV, these recommendations are based on expert opinion, not evidence-based. In the general population, women who have never had an abnormal cytology result can cease screening at age 65. This is due to the relatively low incidence of dysplasia...

Epstein-Barr virus in pleural effusions: protagonist or pretender?
Unilateral pleural effusions are a common diagnostic challenge for the respiratory physician. In the majority of patients, a diagnosis can be made according to medical history, computed tomography and pleural fluid analysis [1]. A proportion of patients will require a pleural biopsy but, following this, a minority will remain undiagnosed and are defined as having inflammatory pleuritis (IP) [2].
