title: [Value of magnetic resonance imaging in cancer of the endometrium. Apropos of 3 cases].
abstract: Magnetic nuclear resonance imaging offers a new approach for assessing the spread of endometrial cancer. Clinical and histopathological data correlated well in two cases; in the third patient, the degree of vesicovaginal wall involvement was more difficult to appreciate. RMN accurately characterizes the tumor and provides information on how deeply the myometrial lesion extends, as well as on isthmic and cervical involvement. Such evaluation is conducive to more precise prognostic conclusions and may be strategically influencial on therapeutic behavior.
