[Imaging of endometrial cancer with vaginosonography].
Besides the grading parameters, another decisive criterion of prognosis for the 5 year survival rate of the endometrium carcinoma is the depth of infiltration of the carcinoma. It is possible to detect by vaginal sonography an invasion of the myometrium even in women who subjected to primary irradiation. In 8 out of 25 women the histological findings showed an adenocarcinoma type Ib, G2, where the degrees of infiltration of the myometrium that were diagnosed sonographically, varied from one-third to three-thirds. Using vaginal sonography it is possible to provide a criterion of indication for additional irradiation with telecobalt in patients undergoing primary irradiation.
