title: Methods for evaluating the intrauterine location of carcinoma.
abstract: The intrauterine location of endometrial carcinoma was investigated with curettage, hysterography and hysteroscopy in 83 patients. These three methods are complementary. Curettage provides important information about the differentiation of the tumor. Hysterography is suitable especially for elucidating the anatomy of the cervical canal and uterine cavity. Direct examination by hysteroscopy gives a reliable picture when defining the boundary between stages I and II.
