[Preoperative diagnosis for stage II endometrial carcinoma using endocervical conization]. 1984

K Fukuda, and S Masubuchi, and K Masubuchi

It is generally difficult to identify stage II endometrial carcinoma correctly. To differentiate cervical involvement, endocervical conization was performed on 31 patients with endometrial cancer between May 1982 and September 1983. The preoperative diagnosis of stage II endometrial carcinoma was confirmed by postoperative histologic examination. In stage I patients, there was no microscopic cervical involvement after the operation. Fractional curettage and hysteroscopy are commonly used to detect stage II endometrial carcinoma. However, these examinations may overlook cervical stromal invasion. Endocervical conization is a simple procedure and highly useful to detect cervical stromal involvement. We recommend the of endocervical conization combined with hysteroscopy to diagnose stage II endometrial carcinoma.
