Radiological Findings of Endometrial Cancer

Release Date: 2024-06-10

Endometrium cancer is the most common gynecological neoplasm which requires detailed radiological examination. MRI is very helpful for detecting the tumor, evaluating the invasion depth and also spreading to pelvic and extrapelvic organs. The information about sizes of the tumor, atypical enhancement patterns, myometrial invasion, cervical stromal invasion, extrauterine extension, lymph node mapping and distant [...]

    Endometrium cancer is the most common gynecological neoplasm which requires detailed radiological examination. MRI is very helpful for detecting the tumor, evaluating the invasion depth and also spreading to pelvic and extrapelvic organs. The information about sizes of the tumor, atypical enhancement patterns, myometrial invasion, cervical stromal invasion, extrauterine extension, lymph node mapping and distant metastasis must be researched for an optimal evaluation of an endometrium cancer.
