Refimprove date January 2008 Autologous Endometrial Coculture is a technique of assisted reproductive technology . It involves placing a patient s fertilized eggs on top of a layer of cells from her own uterine lining, creating a more natural environment for embryo development and maximizing the chance for an in vitro fertilization IVF pregnancy. How Coculture is performed A typical Coculture cycle consists of the following steps br 1. Once a patient has been deemed an appropriate candidate for the procedure, she undergoes an endometrial biopsy during which a small piece of her uterine lining is removed. br 2. The uterine lining sample is sent to a research lab, where it is treated, purified and frozen. br 3. The patient then undergoes a typical IVF cycle and is given medication to stimulate egg growth in her ovaries . br 4. The patient s eggs are retrieved and mixed with the spermatozoon sperm . At this time, the lab begins thawing and growing her endometrial cells. br 5. Once fertilization is confirmed, the patient s embryo s are placed on top of her own and now thawed endometrial cells. br 6. Over the next two days, the embryos are closely monitored for growth and development. br 7. The patient s embryos are transferred into her uterus for implantation and pregnancy . The potential candidate Coculture can be an effective treatment for patients who have failed previous IVF cycles or who have poor embryo quality. Advantages A study of 12,377 embryo cultures showed that endometrial coculture is Statistical significance significantly better than sequential culture media the rates fraction reaching blastocyst stage were 56 versus 46 in the coculture versus the sequential system, respectively, with own oocytes.

Refimprove date December 2009 Gastrointestinal cancer refers to malignant conditions of the gastrointestinal tract , including the esophagus, stomach, biliary system, pancreas, bowels, and anus. The symptoms relate to the organ affected, and can include obstruction leading to difficulty swallowing or defecating , abnormal bleeding, or other associated problems. The diagnosis often requires endoscopy , followed by biopsy of suspicious tissue. The treatment depends on the location of the tumor, as well as the type of cancer cell and whether it has invaded other tissues or spread elsewhere in the body. This also determines the prognosis. Types Types of gastrointestinal cancer include Esophageal cancer Stomach cancer also called gastric cancer Hepatocellular carcinoma liver cancer also called hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC, and hepatoma Gallbladder cancer Pancreatic cancer Colorectal cancer also called colon cancer, bowel cancer, and rectal cancer Anal cancer Gastrointestinal stromal tumor s GIST Prognosis Prognosis is variable,and depends almost entirely on the specific type of cancer. Esophageal cancer has a dismal prognosis, largely because it is often detected late, while colon cancer has an excellent prognosis,when detected early. Pancreatic cancer also has a very poor prognosis, with only 5 of patients surviving more than 5 years after diagnosis.
