In this month's topic "Endometrial & Ovarian Cancers we are using the following Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms:
Ovarian Neoplasm
Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface epithelium, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent germ cells
Endometrial Neoplasms
Tumors or cancer of ENDOMETRIUM, the mucous lining of the UTERUS. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. Their classification and grading are based on the various cell types and the percent of undifferentiated cells. Year introduced: 1992
We also used several terms as an "All Field" search. Meaning it searches all the Mesh Heading Fields and includes Mesh Headings:
Perioperative Care
Interventions to provide care prior to, during, and immediately after surgery.Year introduced: 1998
Intraoperative Care
Patient care procedures performed during the operation that are ancillary to the actual surgery. It includes monitoring, fluid therapy, medication, transfusion, anesthesia, radiography, and laboratory tests. Year introduced: 1980
postoperative care
The period of care beginning when the patient is removed from surgery and aimed at meeting the patient's psychological and physical needs directly after surgery. (From Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed)
Long-Term Care
Care over an extended period, usually for a chronic condition or disability, requiring periodic, intermittent, or continuous care.
Year introduced: 1992
Please note where we have used the subheading "diagnosis" in order get the results closest to the search query (e.g. Ovarian Neoplasm /diagnosis). Lastly, to further narrow the results from PubMed MEDLINE, the reference staff has applied date (2 and 5 year), language (English), and species (human) restrictions. These searches were performed August 30, 2005 so the results you get may be higher.
