• Endometrial hyperplasia can be classified as either hyperplasia without atypia or atypical hyperplasia. • Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common symptom of endometrial hyperplasia. Transvaginal ultrasound is recommended for initial imaging to evaluate endometrial hyperplasia (evidence level 2+), while transrectal ultrasound is recommended for virgo patients (evidence level 3). • Endometrial biopsy should be used to confirm diagnosis in patients where endometrial lesions are suspected. Effective histological approaches to make definite diagnoses include diagnostic curettage (evidence level 2++), hysteroscopic-guided biopsy (evidence level 2+) and endometrial aspiration biopsy (evidence level 2-). • Progesterone is the preferred medication for the treatment of endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. Compared to oral progestins, placement of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) has been associated with higher regression rates, lower recurrence rates and fewer adverse events which can be the initial treatment method. (Meta evidence level 1-, RCT evidence level 2+). Ultrasound and endometrial biopsies should be performed every 6 months during treatment to evaluate its effect and treatment should continue until no pathological changes are observed in two consecutive endometrial biopsies. Hysterectomy is not the preferred choice of treatment for patients with endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. • Minimally invasive hysterectomy is indicated for patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia (evidence level 1+), bilateral fallopian tubes should also be removed (evidence level 2+). In cases where surgery cannot be tolerated, fertility is desired or the patient is younger than 45 years old, medical therapy is recommended (evidence level 3). LNG-IUS is the preferred medical therapy method (evidence level 2+). Endometrial pathologic evaluation should be performed every 3 months during conservative treatments, with adjustments made to dosages or approaches based on observed response to medication. Treatment should continue until no pathological changes are detected in two consecutive endometrial biopsies (evidence level 2++). There is no indication of sentinel lymph nodes biopsy and/or lymphadenectomy for hyperplasia with or without atypia. • Total hysterectomy is recommended to treat patients with recurrent endometrial atypical hyperplasia (evidence level 3); however, medical conservative therapy may be considered for patients hoping to become pregnant in the future. • Patients with fully regressed disease who would like to become pregnant should be advised to seek assistance through assisted reproductive technologies (evidence level 3). • Long-term follow-up is suggested for patients after endometrial hyperplasia treatment (evidence level 2+). Patient education is imperative for improving medication adherence, increasing regression rates and lowering recurrence rates (evidence level 3).

The most recent guidelines for colposcopy practice in the United States, the 2017 Colposcopy Standards Consensus Guidelines, did not include recommendations for endocervical curettage (ECC). This document provides updated guidelines for use of ECC among patients referred for colposcopy.
Consensus guidelines for the use of ECC were developed in 2012. To update these guidelines in concordance with the 2017 Colposcopy Standards process, an expert workgroup was convened in 2021. Literature had been previously reviewed through 2011, before the 2012 guideline. Literature from the years 2012-2021 and data from the NCI Biopsy study were reviewed, focusing on the additional yield of ECC.
Endocervical curettage is recommended for patients with high-grade cytology, human papillomavirus 16/18 infection, positive results on dual staining for p16/Ki67, for those previously treated for known or suspected cervical precancer or considering observation of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2, and when the squamocolumnar junction is not fully visualized at colposcopy. Endocervical curettage is preferred for all patients aged older than 40 years. Endocervical curettage is acceptable for all nonpregnant patients undergoing colposcopy but may be omitted when a subsequent excisional procedure is planned, the endocervical canal does not admit a sampling device, or in nulliparous patients aged younger than 30 years, with cytology reported as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion regardless of whether the squamocolumnar junction is fully visualized. Endocervical curettage is unacceptable in pregnancy.
These guidelines for ECC add to the 2017 consensus recommendations for colposcopy practice in the United States.

BACKGROUND: The ideal treatment for giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether curettage was successful in the treatment of GCTB. Intralesional curettage with adjuvant therapies, such as high-speed burring, polymethylmethacrylate, phenol, ethanol, and liquid nitrogen, may be used to reduce the local recurrence rate. However, there is no consensus on the optimal use of curettage, along with fillers and adjuvants, to limit the recurrence rate.
METHODS: We performed a systematic review of articles using the terms long bones, GCTB, and treatment. Case reports, reviews, opinion articles, or technique notes were excluded based on the abstract. Twenty-six articles included in this review were then studied to establish the index in suggesting the surgical treatment of GCTB.
RESULTS: The patient\'s gender, their age, the Campanacci grade of their tumor, and the type of surgery they had were not significantly associated with the local recurrence rate. Local recurrences seemed to be associated with the site of the tumor, occurring more frequently in the proximal femur or distal radius. A pathological fracture was not a contraindication for intralesional curettage. Treatment with denosumab did not decrease the local recurrence rate in patients who had been treated with curettage.
CONCLUSIONS: The current literature seems to suggest that the ideal treatment for GCTB is to remove the tumor while preserving as much of the joint as possible. Local recurrent tumors can be treated with curettage to keep the re-recurrence rate within an acceptable limit. The choice for how to treat GCTB in the proximal femur or distal radius requires special attention.

The treatment of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ by Mohs micrographic surgery is currently deemed as appropriate by the Mohs Appropriate Use Criteria. However, squamous cell carcinoma in situ is a very superficial, indolent, low-risk tumor amenable to destructive and non-surgical treatments. It is uncommon for squamous cell carcinoma in situ to have progressed to invasive malignancy subsequent to definitive management. The suggestion that squamous cell carcinoma in situ on certain anatomic locations has a poorer prognosis is widely assumed but lacks an evidence base. We recommend that most primary squamous cell carcinoma in situ in non-immunosuppressed patients be scored inappropriate or uncertain for Mohs micrographic surgery by the Mohs Appropriate Use Criteria. Multiple other efficacious treatment options exist for managing squamous cell carcinoma in situ, including curettage and cryotherapy, curettage and electrodessication, and topical therapies.

The evidence supporting best practice guidelines in the field of cartilage repair of the ankle are based on both low quality and low levels of evidence. Therefore, an international consensus group of experts was convened to collaboratively advance toward consensus opinions based on the best available evidence on key topics within cartilage repair of the ankle. The purpose of this article is to report the consensus statements on \"Debridement, Curettage and Bone Marrow Stimulation\" developed at the 2017 International Consensus Meeting on Cartilage Repair of the Ankle.
Seventy-five international experts in cartilage repair of the ankle representing 25 countries and 1 territory were convened and participated in a process based on the Delphi method of achieving consensus. Questions and statements were drafted within 11 working groups focusing on specific topics within cartilage repair of the ankle, after which a comprehensive literature review was performed and the available evidence for each statement was graded. Discussion and debate occurred in cases where statements were not agreed upon in unanimous fashion within the working groups. A final vote was then held, and the strength of consensus was characterized as follows: consensus, 51% to 74%; strong consensus, 75% to 99%; unanimous, 100%.
A total of 14 statements on debridement, curettage, and bone marrow stimulation reached consensus during the 2017 International Consensus Meeting on Cartilage Repair of the Ankle. One achieved unanimous support, 12 reached strong consensus (greater than 75% agreement), and 1 achieved consensus. All statements reached at least 72% agreement.
This international consensus derived from leaders in the field will assist clinicians with debridement, curettage and bone marrow stimulation as a treatment strategy for osteochondral lesions of the talus.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common form of human cancer and has an increasing annual incidence. Although most cSCC is cured with office-based therapy, advanced cSCC poses a significant risk for morbidity, impact on quality of life, and death. This document provides evidence-based recommendations for the management of patients with cSCC. Topics addressed include biopsy techniques and histopathologic assessment, tumor staging, surgical and nonsurgical management, follow-up and prevention of recurrence, and management of advanced disease. The primary focus of these recommendations is on evaluation and management of primary cSCC and localized disease, but where relevant, applicability to recurrent cSCC is noted, as is general information on the management of patients with metastatic disease.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of human cancer, with a continually increasing annual incidence in the United States. When diagnosed early, the majority of BCCs are readily treated with office-based therapy, which is highly curative. In these evidence-based guidelines of care, we provide recommendations for the management of patients with BCC, as well as an in-depth review of the best available literature in support of these recommendations. We discuss biopsy techniques for a clinically suspicious lesion and offer recommendations for the histopathologic interpretation of BCC. In the absence of a formal staging system, the best available stratification based on risk for recurrence is reviewed. With regard to treatment, we provide recommendations on treatment modalities along a broad therapeutic spectrum, ranging from topical agents and superficially destructive modalities to surgical techniques and systemic therapy. Finally, we review the available literature and provide recommendations on prevention and the most appropriate follow-up for patients in whom BCC has been diagnosed.
