Journal ArticleDOI
Fibroids and infertility: an updated systematic review of the evidence
TL;DR: Fertility outcomes are decreased in women with submucosal fibroids, and removal seems to confer benefit, and more high-quality studies need to be directed toward the value of myomectomy for intramural fibros, focusing on issues such as size, number and proximity to the endometrium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Etiology, symptomatology, and diagnosis of uterine myomas.
TL;DR: Although uterine myomas presently are not well understood, many advances have been made in the understanding of the hormonal factors, genetic factors, growth factors, and molecular biology of these benign tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Compared with ovarian conservation, bilateral oophorectomy at the time of hysterectomy for benign disease is associated with a decreased risk of breast and ovarian cancer but an increased risk of all-cause mortality, fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease, and lung cancer.
Journal Article
Uterine sarcoma in patients operated on for presumed leiomyoma and rapidly growing leiomyoma.
TL;DR: The incidence of sarcoma among patients having surgery for “rapidly growing” leiomyoma or among those who met published criteria for rapid growth does not substantiate the concept of increased risk of Sarcoma in these women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term mortality associated with oophorectomy compared with ovarian conservation in the nurses' health study.
William H. Parker,Diane Feskanich,Michael S. Broder,Eunice Chang,Donna Shoupe,Cindy Farquhar,Jonathan S. Berek,JoAnn E. Manson +7 more
TL;DR: Bilateral oophorectomy is associated with increased mortality in women aged younger than 50 years who never used estrogen therapy and at no age is oophorctomyassociated with increased survival.
