  • Title: [Discrepancy in histopathological findings of curettage material and hysterectomy specimens in malignant tumors of the uterine body].
    Author: Hänggi W, Katz M, Fravi R, König C, Dreher E.
    Journal: Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax; 1990 Nov 06; 79(45):1387-9. PubMed ID: 2080393.
    Abstract:
    The clinical staging of the malignoma of the uterine corpus according to the FIGO classification corresponds in only 85.7% in stage I and 35.7% in stage II to the histopathologic staging after operation. Tumor grading and histology from D and C differ in 31.8% and 9.4% respectively from the hysterectomy specimen. We propose therefore to prefer surgical and histopathological staging to the pure clinical FIGO-staging in order to plan adjuvant therapy and for comparing therapeutic results of different patient groups as well.
