[The value of peritoneal cytology in invasive uterine cancers. Analysis of 80 cases].
When they analysed 80 cancers of the uterus, the authors showed how valuable it was both for diagnosis and prognosis to carry out cytological lavage of the peritoneum, particularly in cases of endometrial adenocarcinoma. The results of this study are compared with recent extracts appearing in the international literature. This technique makes it possible to identify groups of patients of high risk for recurrences in the pelvis and abdomen who would benefit from adjuvant therapies, demonstrating that this technique is applicable to the diagnosis of gynaecological cancers with intraperitoneal spread which have long been failed to be recognised. The procedure is innocuous and simple and therefore should be carried out widely in the management of uterine cancers.
