The Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI), a robust metric reflecting the antioxidant richness of one's diet, has garnered attention for its capacity to temper the progression of a plethora of chronic maladies: among them, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, depression, nephrolithiasis (kidney stones), and papillomavirus infections. Its established role as a guardian against such conditions notwithstanding, the association between CDAI and reproductive health, particularly infertility, has yet to be thoroughly delineated. Against this backdrop, our research endeavor aims to explore the potential correlation between CDAI scores and the prevalence of infertility, thereby contributing to the existing knowledge base on the multifaceted impacts of dietary antioxidants on human health.

Numerous studies have elucidated the impact of epigenetics on tumor regulation. However, the methylation patterns of 5-methylcytosine in cervical cancer as well as its role in the tumor microenvironment and immunotherapy remain poorly understood.

Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the second most common malignancy of the female reproductive system worldwide, and the standard treatment for early-stage EC potentially leads to permanent infertility. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacies of different methods on fertility preservation in patients with early-stage EC.

Methods: We searched the major online databases (PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science) to collect the research literature on fertility preservation therapy in patients with early-stage well-differentiated EC aged ≤ 40 years from January 1999 to October 2019.

Small cell carcinoma of the cervix is a rare malignant tumor in the clinical setting. Clinical manifestations of this tumor are mostly similar to those of normal types of cervical cancer. Small cell carcinoma of the cervix only shows symptoms of neuroendocrine tumors, such as syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).
