Staging of uterine carcinoma

The improved survival rate of patients with uterine cancer over the past 20 years is mostly the result of earlier diagnosis. Further improvement may be achieved through better pretreatment assessment of prognostic factors, which would allow for the optimal choice of primary treatment and decreased morbidity and mortality. We compare US, CT and MRI in staging of endometrial and cervical uterine carcinoma, as correlated with FIGO classification. Sensitivity and specificity rates are given from an extensive review o f literature. Also imaging algorithm based on these results and our clinical experience is proposed.
