Correlation between pre-operative and final histological diagnosis on endometrial cancer

Abstract: ObjectiveWe conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the correlation between pre-operative and post-operative histological diagnoses on endometrial cancer, and to describe the treatments and outcomes when post-operative diagnoses are downgraded from pre-operative histology.MethodsPatients who underwent surgery for endometrial cancer in our facility between 2010 and 2013 were enrolled in the study. The definition of downgrade discordance is in accordance with the following criteria: 1) the pre-operative and … Show more

“…Undetermined pre-operative type and histology was found in 206 patients, and 15 cases with pre-operative diagnosis of type I EC were corrected as type II EC after hysterectomy, most probably because of the limited sampling of pre-operative endometrial biopsy ( 22 ). The concordance rates of the pre-operative and final pathological report are reported to be varied between 56 and 81% ( 23 ). 7.2% had downgrade discordance, and the most common type of downgrade was seen in type I EC ( 23 ).…”

Thus, improvement of accuracy of pre-operative pathology should be addressed in the future studies.…”

“…7.2% had downgrade discordance, and the most common type of downgrade was seen in type I EC. 21 Based on the low possibility of downgrade post-operatively, thorough lymphadenectomy could be suggested for the curettagediagnosed type II EC. Other strategies such as combined diagnosis might increase the accuracy of curettage.…”

“…Endometrial biopsy is a crucial method to diagnosing EC, but it has some false-negatives compared with the final surgical pathology. Moreover, the type, grade, myometrial invasion, and lymphatic vascular infiltration cannot be accurately evaluated because of the limitation of materials and heterogeneity of tumor tissue, which may underestimate cancer risk ( 8 , 9 ). Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a non-invasive preoperative risk assessment method that has been widely used in malignant tumors with functional and molecular imaging technology and reflects both the local and overall characteristics of lesions.…”
