Predictors of SLN Mapping Failure with Diego Raimondo and Giulia Rovero

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Drs. Diego Raimondo and Giulia Rovero. Dr. Raimondo works as medical director and assistant researcher at the Division of Gynecology and Pathophysiology of Human Reproduction, Bologna, Italy, directed by Prof. Renato Seracchioli. He received his PhD on new technologies for endometriosis surgical removal from the University of Bologna in 2021. He is an Advisory Board Member of the ESGE (European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy) and member of the Special Interest Group in Robotics. His research interests are focused on minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic, robotic and hysteroscopic) for endometriosis and endometrial cancer. Dr. Giulia Rovero graduated in Medicine in 2017 at the University of Florence. She is currently a fifth-year resident at the Division of Gynecology and Pathophysiology of Human Reproduction, Bologna, Italy, directed by Prof. Renato Seracchioli. In 2022/23 she spent twelve months at the Lariboisiere Hospital in Paris focusing on gynecologic oncology. She is developing her research activity in collaboration with Dr. Raimondo in the field of minimally invasive surgery for endometrial cancer. Highlights: * In endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients, the rate of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping failure ranges from 20% to 25%. * Pooled data assessing predictive factors of SLN mapping failure in EC patients undergoing SLN biopsy through the cervical injection of indocyanine green (ICG) are lacking. * ICG dose 30 kg/m2, menopausal status, adenomyosis) nor surgical history is significantly associated with SLN mapping failure in EC patients. * Deep myometrial invasion, FIGO grade 3, non-endometrioid histotype, and lymphovascular space invasion are not significantly associated with SLN mapping failure in EC patients.

NRG-018 Pembrolizumab and Chemotherapy in Uterine Cancer with Ramez Eskander

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Dr. Ramez N. Eskander to discuss NRG-018 pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in uterine cancer. Dr. Eskander is a gynecologic oncologist who specializes in the comprehensive management of female reproductive system cancers, including ovarian, uterine, cervical, vulvar and vaginal cancer. His expertise includes diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including minimally invasive (robotic) surgery, chemotherapy and novel drugs. Highlights: • NRG-GY018 showed that the addition of pembrolizumab to chemotherapy, followed by maintenance pembrolizumab, resulted in a 70% lower risk of disease progression or death in patients in the dMMR cohort and a 46% lower risk in the pMMR cohort than in the placebo group. • These data suggest that the incorporation of immunotherapy into the first-line treatment of advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer improves oncologic outcomes, regardless of MMR status or histologic findings. • Previous monotherapy drugs against PD-1 and PD-L1 in recurrent or metastatic pMMR endometrial cancer resulted in only modest improvement.

The first generation medical students

Starting university or medical school can be a daunting experience for anyone, but when you’re the first person in your family to study medicine, it can feel even scarier. In today’s episode, we’re going to be talking all about what it’s like to be a first-generation medical student. We’ll start from the very beginning and talk about when we first realised we wanted to study medicine and what it was like to apply. We’ll then move on to discussing our time at medical school, and whether we experienced any kind of culture shock when we arrived. We’ll finish up by talking about positive changes we’d like to see in medicine, and how our feelings have changed with time. Expert guests: Dr Enam-Ul Haque is a GP Partner in Manchester, as well as a Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester. He has a passion for widening participation and equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and is the Founder of the National Medical Schools Widening Participation Forum and Co-Chair of the MSC EDI Alliance.

Post-PARP Myeloid Neoplasms with Giuseppe Caruso

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Pedro Ramirez, is joined by Dr. Giuseppe Caruso discuss post-PARP myeloid neoplasms. Dr. Caruso is a fifth-year resident in Obstetrics and Gynecology and a first-year fellow of the PhD in “Network Oncology and Precision Medicine” at Sapienza University of Rome in Italy. Over the past year, he has been attending the Department of Gynecologic Oncology at the European Institution of Oncology (Milan) under the mentorship of Professor Nicoletta Colombo and has now started his research fellowship period at Mayo Clinic (Rochester) under the supervision of Professor William Cliby. His main interest areas are gynecologic oncology, personalized oncology, and clinical research. Highlights: - Myeloid neoplasms post PARPi in patients with ovarian cancer are gradually emerging as life-threatening late toxicities and should not be underestimated. - The first two years of PARPi exposure are the critical window of onset and persistent cytopenia has been recognized as an early warning sign. - Active surveillance, differential diagnosis, and prompt hematological referral are crucial. - PARPi are recommended in the first line also to improve the risk-benefit ratio. - PARPi should be used cautiously in patients with a higher baseline risk and/or those who are less likely to have a significant benefit.

How good is a good enough doctor?

When we think of being a ‘good enough’ medical student, our thoughts might go straight to exams. Have we passed them all? What about merits, or even distinctions? It’s easy to prioritise exam scores above all else as it is one of the only times we get clear, concrete feedback - or a number that tells us how ‘good’ we really are. But can exam results capture everything or is something missing here when we talk about being a ‘good enough’ medical student or doctor? Can written papers or practical exams like OSCEs ever really sum up whether we’ll be ‘good doctors’? And despite so much pressure to excel, do we really need doctors to be the best or do we need them to be good enough? Expert guests: Abi Rimmer is a news reporter and careers editor at The BMJ. She is responsible for the careers content and reports on workforce-related and NHS policy issues. She was also recently treated as a patient for stage III rectal cancer.
