Farthing A, 2006, Conserving fertility in the management of gynaecological cancers., BJOG, Vol: 113, Pages: 129-134, ISSN: 1470-0328

The quality of cancer treatment is judged by both morbidity and mortality. Patients benefit if morbidity is reduced without compromising mortality. This applies particularly for women who develop gynaecological malignancy during their childbearing years where curative treatment also renders them infertile. This study reviews the increasing role of fertility-sparing surgery in such women. A literature search was undertaken using PubMed, entering the terms endometrial cancer, cervical cancer and ovarian cancer in conjunction with the terms fertility and fertility sparing. Each relevant identified paper was reviewed, references checked and results collated to provide an evidence-based summary of fertility-sparing treatments for gynaecological malignancy. Fertility-sparing surgery is appropriate in many circumstances, and all doctors who advise young women with gynaecological malignancy should be aware of these possibilities. However, data are relatively sparse in many situations, and careful counselling and balanced guidance are essential if patients are to understand the full implications of their choices.

Farthing A, Masterson P, Mason WP, Vousden KHet al., 1994, Human papillomavirus detection by hybrid capture and its possible clinical use., J Clin Pathol, Vol: 47, Pages: 649-652, ISSN: 0021-9746

AIMS: To determine the sensitivity of the hybrid capture method for human papillomavirus (HPV) detection and potential clinical uses as a screening method for the identification of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. METHODS: The presence of oncogenic types of HPV was tested for in samples taken from the cervix at colposcopy, and compared with detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 60 patients. Both sets of results were corrected with the pathology determined by biopsy and smear cytology. RESULTS: Hybrid capture detection showed 86% agreement with PCR. Eighty three percent of CIN 3 lesions, 62% of CIN 2, 59% of CIN 1 and 21% of normal controls were positive for oncogenic HPV types. CONCLUSION: The hybrid capture detection method is reliable, sensitive, and easy to use. The addition of HPV testing to cytological screening would detect a greater proportion of cervical dysplasia with a higher false positive rate.
