[Determination of the volume of surgical intervention in cancer of the corpus uteri].

Clinical, cytologic, histologic and X-ray procedures were used in examining 120 patients with endometrial carcinoma. The results of pre- and intraoperative determination of clinical stage were compared in 65 cases of uterine extirpation with appendages and lymphadenectomy. Errors in preoperative identification of the extent of tumor expansion were made in 9 cases (13.8 +/- 4.3%). It was found that determinations of the site and expansion of tumor make the case for hystero-cervical-angiolymphography whereas identification of tumor pattern and degree of cell differentiation--for cytologic and histologic assays.
