(49 cards)
What imaging modality can assist with pre surgical staging?
Uterine cancer
MRI
- myometrial invasion
- cervical extension
- parametrial involvement
- lymph nodes
Stage 1A endometrial
Confinded to the corpus
<50% myometrium
Stage 1B
Limited to corpus
> /= 50%
Stage 2
Tumor invades cervical stroma but not beyond uterus
Stage 3A
Tumor Invades serosa +/- adnexa
Stage 3B
Vaginal involvement +/- parametrium
Stage 3C1
Positive pelvic nodes
Stage 3C2
Positive paraaortic nodes +/- pelvic
Stage 4A
Bladder +/- bowel mucosa
Stage 4B
Distand metastasis
Grade 1 disease
<5% nonsquamous or nonmorular solid growth pattern
Grade 2
6-50% nonsquamous or nonmorular solid growth
Grade 3
> 50% nonsquamous or nonmorular
What are the characteristics if high risk disease?(5)
- grade 3 tumor
- lymphovascular space invasion
- non endometriod histology( serous, clear cell, undifferentiated etc)
- cervical stromal involvement
- p53 molecular type
What imaging modalities are used to assess for recurrent disease?(2)
- CT
- FDG-PET/CT
What is the most common site of recurrence?
Vaginal cuff
Incidence of endometrial cancer
28 : 100,000
9000 new cases per year (UK)
Peak age of diagnosis
60-79 yo
What percentage is due to lifestyle and other known risk factors?
34%
Since the 1990s, mortality from endometrial cancer has increased or decreased?
Increased by 25%
What surgery would you perform for a grade 1 stage 1a endometriod adenocarcinoma
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy
Increasing incidence is due to what factors ? (3)
- obesity
- nulliparity
- aging population
What is the effect of parity on the incidence of endometrial cancer?
Nulliparity- increase (35-40% of cases are nulliparous)
Para 1- reduces risk by 30%
Para 2+ - additional 25% per pregnancy
Effect of estrogen HRT on endometrial CA?
2.3 times higher than non users
