2008, European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyCitation Excerpt :Cervical infiltration is misdiagnosed with fractional curettage, since false-positive results were reported in up to 25% and false-negative results in up to 10% of patients [3]. There remain conflicting opinions concerning the use of frozen section to determine the depth of myometrial invasion [4,5], and also the use of hysteroscopy in the assessment of cervical involvement [6,7]. Many studies have suggested that MRI might be an adequate imaging modality of choice in the pre-operative assessment of myometrial invasion or/and cervical involvement, but the debate on what is the best protocol is ongoing [8–11].
Reliability of diagnostic fluid hysteroscopy in the assessment of cervical invasion by endometrial carcinoma: A comparative study with transvaginal sonography and MRI
2008, Gynecologic OncologyCitation Excerpt :The finding of this study that hysteroscopy is a reliable technique for excluding cervical involvement is in agreement with most of data in literature [20]. Lo et al., in a retrospective study conducted in 200 patients with endometrial carcinoma, demonstrated that hysteroscopy using saline has a high accuracy and NPV in determining tumor spread to the cervix [15]. However, in the Lo's study hysteroscopy showed a PPV of 0.93 that was about twice that we found.
