    Objective: The impact of adjuvant radiotherapy on the rates of survival and local recurrence was analyzed in patients diagnosed with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage 1a grade 2 endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Material and Methods: Medical records of 82 patients diagnosed and treated for FIGO stage 1a grade 2 endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma were reviewed retrospectively. A group of 59 patients who received postoperative radiotherapy was compared with a control group of 23 subjects treated without adjuvant radiotherapy; the duration of survival as well as the local recurrence and metastasis rates were evaluated in both groups. Results: The analysis of patient data has revealed the rate of local recurrence as 4.3% vs. 1.7% (p=0.485), the rate of distant metastasis as 4.3% vs. 6.9% (p=1.000), and the mean survival time as 83.6 +/- 38.7 vs. 81.5 +/- 37.5 months (p=0.828) in the adjuvant radiotherapy and control groups, respectively. Conclusion: In the presented study, adjuvant radiotherapy failed to improve the overall survival of the patients in the low-risk group (stage 1a grade 2). With the addition of the significant risk of radiation toxicity, it is highly probable that these patients will not benefit from postoperative radiotherapy. Close observation should be performed following the primary surgery in this patient group. Nevertheless, it should also be considered that adjuvant radiotherapy is a very effective treatment modality for the recovery of patients with vaginal relapse.

    What is the fate of scientific abstracts? The publication rates of abstracts presented at the 7th National Congress of Gynecology and Obstetrics
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2015) Ersoy, Gulcin Sahin; Oztekin, Deniz; Kebapcilar, Ayse Gul; Gurbuz, Tutku
    Objective: Oral and poster presentations held at national and international congresses are recognized as valuable tools for sharing current scientific data and experience among physicians. However, a large proportion of these works fail to be published in scientific journals. We have designed a study to identify the publication rate of presentations held at the 7th National Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2009. Materials and Methods: A systematic search of databases was performed using author names and key words from the abstract title to locate publications in peer-reviewed journals corresponding to the presentations held at the 7th National Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Information regarding mode of presentation, topic, type of affiliation, name and impact factor of the scientific journal, change in author names and time elapsed between presentation and publication were recorded and analyzed statistically. Results: Of 243 abstracts that were presented at the congress, 45 papers (18.5%) were published in international peer-reviewed journals, whereas 39 (16%) were published in national journals. The mean time to publication was 17 +/- 2 months for international and 11 +/- 4 months for national journals (p=0.102). The international publication rate of oral presentations was significantly higher than that of poster presentations (50% vs. 16.2%; p<0.03). The manuscripts were published in a total of 21 journals, with four journals accounting for 49% of the publications. The comparison of the publication rates of the universities with other institutions has yielded no significant difference. Conclusion: Alltough a significant proportion of the abstracts presented in the 7th National Gynecology and Obstetrics Congress have been succesfully converted to publication overall, only a limited percentage of all abstracts have been published in international peer-reviewed journals. The relatively higher conversion to international publication rate of the oral presentations show that they are of higher interest and clinical relevance.
