title: [Hysterosonography and its significance in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer].
abstract: Hysterosonography is a method which enables the macroscopic spread of endometrial carcinomas in the uterus to be demonstrated. It is not a substitute for histologic findings. It only furnishes information about conditions within the organ, not beyond it. Compared to other image-producing methods used hitherto, this is the first which enables the extent of spread of the tumor to be determined macroscopically, for information purposes, prior to therapy. It is thus possible to plan the surgical procedure individually, and, if radiotherapy is employed, to determine exactly the target volume for intracavitary therapy.
