Abstract
BACKGROUND Borderline tumors are malignant epithelial ovarian tumors with a very low incidence. Thus experience in diagnostics and treatment is still rare. The aim of this study was to present and analyze data of women with borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) regarding clinical features, histological characteristics, diagnostics and treatment management. METHODS In this single center retrospective study women with BOT treated at the Departement of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the Kantonsspital Luzern between 2011 and 2018 were analyzed according to their clinical and histological reports. RESULTS A total of 42 women were enrolled. The median age was 58.5 with a range from 26 to 85, of which 31 (73.8%) were postmenopausal. Regarding the histological subtypes, 23 women (54.8%) had serous and 15 (35.7%) had mucinous BOT. Seromucinous histology was found in 3 patients (7.1%) and endometrioid in 1 woman (2.4%), respectively. All women underwent surgery. In a total of 39 women (92.9%) a complete surgical staging for BOT was performed. In 29 women (69.0%) staging was performed by laparoscopy, 13 (31.0%) underwent laparotomy. The mean follow up was 52 months (range = 16.3-101.4 months). During this period two patients, initially diagnosed in FIGO stage 1, recurred after 21.7 and 44 months, respectively, the second woman died after 53 months because of the BOT. CONCLUSION In the present study women were treated according to the international therapy recommendations and the rate of recurrence was very low. The most common risk factors for relapse are known to be FIGO stage, incomplete staging and peritoneal implants but were not present in our group. Thus further studies are necessary to investigate additional recurrence risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lower limb lymphoedema (LLL) is the most disabling adverse effect of surgical staging of pelvic lymph nodes. However, the lack of standardisation of volumetric LLL assessment hinders direct comparison between the studies and makes LLL reporting unreliable. The aim of our study is to report outcomes from a prospective trial that have implications for LLL assessment standardisation. METHODS In the prospective international multicentre trial SENTIX, a group of 150 patients with stage IA1-IB2 cervical cancer treated by uterine surgery with bilateral sentinel lymph node biopsy was prospectively evaluated by objective LLL assessment, based on limb volume change (LVC) using circumferrential limb measurements and subjective patient-reported swelling. The assessments were conducted in six-month periods over 24 months post-surgery. RESULTS Patient LVC substantially fluctuated in both positive and negative directions, which were comparable in frequency up to ±14% change. Thirty-eight patients experienced persistent LVC increase >10% classified as LLL, with nine months median time to onset. Some 34.2% of cases experienced onset later than one year after the surgery. Thirty-three patients (22%) experienced transient oedema characterised as LVC >10%, which resolved without intervention between two consequent follow-up visits. No significant correlation between LVC >10% and a patient-reported swelling was observed. CONCLUSIONS Given that we observed comparable fluctuations of the the lower-limb volumes after surgical treatment of cervical cancer in both positive and negative direction up to ±14%, the diagnostic threshold for LLL diagnosis based on LVC should be increased to >15% LVC. The distinction of transient oedema from persistent LLL requires repeated measurements. Also, as one-third of LLL cases are diagnosed >1-year post-surgery, a sufficient follow-up duration needs to be ensured. Patient-reported swelling correlated poorly with LVC and should only be used as an adjunct to objective LLL assessment. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02494063.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Voiding dysfunctions represent a leading morbidity after radical hysterectomy performed in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to perform ad hoc analysis of factors influencing voiding recovery in SENTIX (SENTinel lymph node biopsy in cervIX cancer) trial. METHODS The SENTIX trial (47 sites, 18 countries) is a prospective study on sentinel lymph node biopsy without pelvic lymphadenectomy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. Overall, the data of 300 patients were analysed. Voiding recovery was defined as the number of days from surgery to bladder catheter/epicystostomy removal or to post-voiding urine residuum ≤50 mL. RESULTS The median voiding recovery time was three days (5th-95th percentile: 0-21): 235 (78.3%) patients recovered in <7 days and 293 (97.7%) in <30 days. Only seven (2.3%) patients recovered after >30 days. In the multivariate analysis, only previous pregnancy (p = 0.033) and type of parametrectomy (p < 0.001) significantly influenced voiding recovery >7 days post-surgery. Type-B parametrectomy was associated with a higher risk of delayed voiding recovery than type-C1 (OR = 4.69; p = 0.023 vs. OR = 3.62; p = 0.052, respectively), followed by type-C2 (OR = 5.84; p = 0.011). Both previous pregnancy and type C2 parametrectomy independently prolonged time to voiding recovery by two days. CONCLUSIONS Time to voiding recovery is significantly related to previous pregnancy and type of parametrectomy but it is not influenced by surgical approach (open vs minimally invasive), age, or BMI. Type B parametrectomy, without direct visualisation of nerves, was associated with longer recovery than nerve-sparing type C1. Importantly, voiding dysfunctions after radical surgery are temporary, and the majority of the patients recover in less than 30 days, including patients after C2 parametrectomy.

Abstract
Endometrioid borderline ovarian tumors are rare, entailing a lack of data on their natural history as well as the safety of conservative and ultraconservative surgical management, especially in cases with bilateral borderline ovarian tumors including one of endometrioid differentiation. Therefore, we present such a case and provide a review of the literature on endometrioid borderline ovarian tumors. We report the case of a 26-year-old, 0-gravida with an endometrioid borderline ovarian tumor of the right and a sero-mucinous borderline ovarian tumor of the left ovary treated by fertility sparing, ultraconservative surgery with bilateral cystectomy, completed by staging procedures including omentectomy and peritoneal sampling, as well as endometrial sampling by means of curettage. Reviewing the literature and taking into account the course of our case, we propose the feasibility of an ultraconservative management, including endometrial sampling, in young patients with bilateral borderline ovarian tumors including one of endometrioid differentiation who desire to preserve fertility, followed by a closely monitored follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND SENTIX (ENGOT-CX2/CEEGOG-CX1) is an international, multicentre, prospective observational trial evaluating sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy without pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. We report the final preplanned analysis of the secondary end-points: SLN mapping and outcomes of intraoperative SLN pathology. METHODS Forty-seven sites (18 countries) with experience of SLN biopsy participated in SENTIX. We preregistered patients with stage IA1/lymphovascular space invasion-positive to IB2 (4 cm or smaller or 2 cm or smaller for fertility-sparing treatment) cervical cancer without suspicious lymph nodes on imaging before surgery. SLN frozen section assessment and pathological ultrastaging were mandatory. Patients were registered postoperatively if SLN were bilaterally detected in the pelvis, and frozen sections were negative. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02494063). RESULTS We analysed data for 395 preregistered patients. Bilateral detection was achieved in 91% (355/395), and it was unaffected by tumour size, tumour stage or body mass index, but it was lower in older patients, in patients who underwent open surgery, and in sites with fewer cases. No SLN were found outside the seven anatomical pelvic regions. Most SLN and positive SLN were localised below the common iliac artery bifurcation. Single positive SLN above the iliac bifurcation were found in 2% of cases. Frozen sections failed to detect 54% of positive lymph nodes (pN1), including 28% of cases with macrometastases and 90% with micrometastases. INTERPRETATION SLN biopsy can achieve high bilateral SLN detection in patients with tumours of 4 cm or smaller. At experienced centres, all SLN were found in the pelvis, and most were located below the iliac vessel bifurcation. SLN frozen section assessment is an unreliable tool for intraoperative triage because it only detects about half of N1 cases.

Abstract
The quality of pathological assessment is crucial for the safety of patients with cervical cancer if pelvic lymph node dissection is to be replaced by sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. Central pathology review of SLN pathological ultrastaging was conducted in the prospective SENTIX/European Network of Gynaecological Oncological Trial (ENGOT)-CX2 study. All specimens from at least two patients per site were submitted for the central review. For cases with major or critical deviations, the sites were requested to submit all samples from all additional patients for second-round assessment. From the group of 300 patients, samples from 83 cases from 37 sites were reviewed in the first round. Minor, major, critical, and no deviations were identified in 28%, 19%, 14%, and 39% of cases, respectively. Samples from 26 patients were submitted for the second-round review, with only two major deviations found. In conclusion, a high rate of major or critical deviations was identified in the first round of the central pathology review (28% of samples). This reflects a substantial heterogeneity in current practice, despite trial protocol requirements. The importance of the central review conducted prospectively at the early phase of the trial is demonstrated by a substantial improvement of SLN ultrastaging quality in the second-round review.

Abstract
First Diagnosis of a Squamos Cell Carcinoma of the Cervix Uteri FIGO 1B1 in Pregnancy Abstract. The squamous cell cancer of the cervix uteri is one of the most frequent detected cancers in pregnancy. As the tumor is in direct contact to the pregnancy, the treatment is challenging and has to be tackled individually. So far, standard concepts or studies are missing. Treatment should be focused on the oncological security of the mother like in non-pregnant women and should be according to current guidelines. Thanks to the existing therapy options during pregnancy, it is a reasonable option to maintain the pregnancy in compliance with oncological standards. An interdisciplinary approach is therefore necessary.

Abstract
We identified a novel population of human T cells, studied directly ex vivo, that co-express surface B7-1 and intracellular IL-4. These peripheral blood B7-1+/CD4+ T cells expressed cell surface molecules associated with differentiation including CD45RO and MHC class II, yet were CD69(-) and CD25(-). In short-term cultures, T cell receptor (TCR) cross-linking induced further IL-4 production with little IFN-gamma or TNF-alpha. In marked contrast, CD4+ T cells negative for B7-1 expressed intracellular IFN-gamma and high amounts of TNF-alpha but little IL-4 upon TCR cross-linking. The CD4+/B7-1+/IL-4-expressing T cells were of polyclonal origin based on their diverse TCR repertoire. To explore the biological significance of this B7-1+/IL-4+ T cell population and to assess its potential regulatory role in autoimmune disease, we examined whether these T cells isolated ex vivo were altered in subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS). While the frequency of B7-1+ T cells was enhanced in patients with MS as compared to normal subjects, there was a significant diminution of B7-1+/IL-4+ T cells in the patients. The decrease in these IL-4-producing T cells in patients with autoimmune disease is consistent with a possible role as immunoregulatory T cells.

Abstract
We have cloned and expressed in bacteria the genes coding for the Fab fragment of the monoclonal antibody (MoAb) M3. M3 is a murine IgG1 antibody reactive with the major allergen Chi t 1-9 of Chironomus thummi thummi. The major allergen Chi t 1-9 is known to be an aggressive inhalant allergen and causes type-I allergy. The immunoglobulin (Ig) fragment genes were cloned as a synthetic dicistronic operon. In this operon each gene is preceded by a bacterial signal sequence to direct the recombinant protein to the periplasmic space of the bacteria. The cloned genes were expressed in Escherichia coli using the strong T7-RNA-polymerase-based system. Sequence analysis revealed that the light and heavy chains of MoAb M3 belong to the V kappa II and V kappa IIC group of the Ig family, respectively. Genes of the V kappa II and V kappa IIC group are known to be used in response to haptens. The apparent affinity constants of the parent antibody M3 and the recombinant Fab fragment are nearly equivalent.

Abstract
During a study on the separation of human blood monocytes from lymphocytes, a method was developed to recognize and count monocytes by electronic means. Lightscattering (Cytograf, Bio/Physics), and changes in electrical resistance (Channelyzer, Coulter) were used to size mononuclear leukocytes directly in cell suspensions. Both methods revealed a size distribution profile in which two populations of mononuclear leukocytes could be distinguished. The largest cells were virtually eliminated after phagocytosis of iron particles. We confirmed that these cells were monocytes by three different criteria: the intracellular lysozyme activity, the number of phagocytes, and the percentage of cells with kidney-shaped nuclei. The highly significant correlations we found showed that monocytes could be recognized and counted by electronic sizing. For this method, purified mononuclear leukocyte preparations had to be used, since the presence of erythrocytes, platelets, and polymorphonuclear cells interfered. Statistical analysis revealed that electronic sizing permitted discrimination of differences in monocyte content of 4.5%, with a probability of 95%. It was calculated that this sensitivity of electronic monocyte counting was about three times higher than the sensitivity of microscopic methods. Since 100,000 cells can be sized within a few seconds, not only the efficiency of the preparation but also minor changes in the size of monocytes and lymphocytes introduced during the isolation can be followed.
