Abstract
Few studies have compared the efficacy of robot-assisted, laparoscopic, and open surgeries for endometrial cancer. When considering the position of robotic surgery in Japan, it was necessary to determine whether it was effective or not. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of these three types of surgeries for early-stage endometrial cancer. In total, 175 patients with endometrial cancer of preoperative stage IA, who had undergone laparotomic (n = 80), laparoscopic (n = 40), or robot-assisted (n = 55) modified radical hysterectomy at our hospital from 2010 to 2022, were included; surgical outcomes, perioperative complications, and prognoses were compared. Total operative and console times for robot-assisted surgery between patients who did or did not undergo pelvic lymphadenectomy were assessed. The robot-assisted group had the shortest total operative time. The estimated blood loss was lower in the laparoscopic and robot-assisted groups than in the laparotomy group. In advanced postoperative stage IA cases, there were no differences in progression-free and overall survival among the three groups. In the robot-assisted group, the operative time decreased as the number of operations increased; the learning curve was reached after 10 cases each of patients with and without pelvic lymphadenectomy. The frequency of perioperative complications of Clavien-Dindo classification Grade 1 or higher was the lowest in the robot-assisted group (p = 0.02). There were no complications of Clavien-Dindo classification Grade 2 or higher in the robot-assisted group. Robot-assisted surgery for stage IA endometrial cancer, a minimally invasive procedure, has fewer operative times and complications than those of laparoscopic and open surgeries in a single institution in Japan.

Abstract
Objective There is a lack of multi-institutional large-volume and long-term follow-up data on comparisons between robot-assisted surgery and conventional laparoscopic surgery. This study compared the surgical and long-term survival outcomes between patients who underwent robot-assisted or conventional laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients from five large academic institutions who underwent either robot-assisted or conventional laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of endometrial cancer between 2012 and 2017, ensuring at least 5 years of potential follow-up. Intra- and postoperative outcomes, long-term disease-free survival, and overall survival were compared. Results The study cohort included 1,003 unselected patients: 551 and 452 patients received conventional laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery, respectively. The median follow-up duration was 57 months. Postoperative complications were significantly less likely to occur in the robot-assisted surgery group compared to the laparoscopic surgery group (7.74% vs. 13.79%, P = 0.002), primarily limited to minor complications. There were no significant differences in survival: 5-year disease-free survival was 91.2% versus 90.0% (P = 0.628) and overall survival was 97.9% versus 96.8% (P = 0.285) in the robot-assisted and laparoscopic surgery cohorts, respectively. Cox proportional hazard regression models demonstrated that the mode of surgery was not associated with disease-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.897; confidence interval, 0.563-1.429) or overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.791; confidence interval, 0.330-1.895) after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusion Robot-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer demonstrates comparable long-term survival outcomes and a reduced incidence of postoperative minor complications when compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery.

Abstract
Objective To compare the oncological outcomes of radical surgery and radical radiotherapy in elderly (over 65 years) patients with early-stage cervical cancer (IB-IIA). Methods Elderly patients with stage IB-IIA cervical cancer treated at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2000 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were divided into the radiotherapy group (RT group) and the operation group (OP group) according to their primary intervention. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to balance the biases. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS), and the secondary outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS) and adverse effects. Results A total of 116 patients were eligible for the study (47 in the RT group, and 69 in the OP group), and after PSM, 82 patients were suitable for further analysis (37 in the RT group, and 45 in the OP group). In the real-world setting, it was found that compared with radiotherapy, operation was more frequently selected for elderly cervical cancer patients with adenocarcinoma (P < 0.001) and IB1 stage cancer (P < 0.001). The 5-year PFS rates between the RT and OP groups were not significant (82.3% vs. 73.6%, P = 0.659), and the 5-year OS rate of the OP group was significantly better than that in the RT group (100% vs. 76.3%, P = 0.039), especially in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (P = 0.029) and tumor size of 2~4 cm with G2 differentiation (P = 0.046). There was no significant difference in PFS between the two groups (P = 0.659). In the multivariate analysis, compared with operation, radical radiotherapy was an independent risk factor of OS (hazard ratio = 4.970, 95% CI, 1.023~24.140, P = 0.047). No difference was observed in adverse effects between the RT and OP groups (P = 0.154) and in ≥grade 3 adverse effects (P = 0.852). Conclusion The study found that surgery was more frequently selected for elderly cervical cancer patients with adenocarcinoma and IB1 stage cancer in the real-world setting. After PSM to balance the biases, it showed that compared with radiotherapy, surgery could improve the OS of elderly early-stage cervical cancer patients and was an independent protective factor of OS in elderly early-stage cervical cancer patients.

Abstract
The emergent of medical science and technology has risen the minimally invasive surgery. Da Vinci Robotic Surgical Systems (RSS) is the trend at present. Compared with the past surgical methods, many studies related to RSS tend to explore postoperative outcomes and quality of life or compare the advantages and disadvantages than the other surgery. Few studies to understand the patients' willing who use RSS. This study mainly explores the patients' willingness and adopts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical foundation, and appended the trust concept to discuss. The study was a retrospective study and used a structured questionnaire to conduct a survey. The subjects included the patients with single-disease who had used RSS in a Medical Center of Southern Taiwan but excluded the patients with multiple disorder. This study conducted SPSS 22.0 and Smart PLS 2.0 software for statistical analysis, which included descriptive statistical analysis and applied Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis to test the research model and to examine the established hypotheses. A total of 136 cases were collected in this study. Study validation was tested. Trust positively affects Perceived Usefulness (β = 0.550) and Perceived Ease of Use (β = 0.300). Perceived Ease of Use positively affects Perceived Usefulness (β = 0.188). Perceived Usefulness positively affects Attitude Toward Using (β = 0.589. Attitude Toward Using positively affects Behavioral Intention (β = 0.446. The relationship between perceived Ease of Use and Attitude toward Using was insignificant. Additionally, the relationship between Perceived Usefulness and Behavioral Intention was insignificant. In the research results, we found that patients are mostly in the middle and high age groups, and if the patient himself feels that RSS is extremely helpful to his illness, the intensity of his choice of intention will be high. In comparison, the information related to RSS has been clearly known, it does not directly affect the selection intention. According to age, most of the choices of RSS is based on safety and risk considerations, and it is beneficial to the patient himself, but RSS is also more expensive. We recommended that the government consider ββ reimbursing the RSS process in health insurance programs to meet the needs and expectations of patients.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most frequent gynecological malignancy, and, although epidemiologically it mainly affects advanced age women, it can also affect young patients who want children and who have not yet completed their procreative project. Fertility sparing treatments are the subject of many studies and research in continuous evolution, and represent a light of hope for young cancer patients who find themselves having to face an oncological path before fulfilling their desire for motherhood. The advances in molecular biology and the more precise clinical and prognostic classification of endometrial cancer based on the 2013 The Cancer Genome Atlas classification allow for the selection of patients who can be submitted to fertility sparing treatments with increasing oncological safety. It would also be possible to predict the response to hormonal treatment by investigating the state of the genes of the mismatch repair.
