Overview
Staging
Endometrial carcinoma is surgically staged using the FIGO cancer staging system.
- Stage I: Tumor confined to the corpus uteri
- Stage IA:No or less than half myometrial invasion
- Stage IB:Invasion equal to or more than half of the myometrium
- Stage II :Tumor invades cervical stroma but does not extend beyond the uterus
- Stage III:Local and/or regional spread of the tumor
- Stage IIIA:Tumor invades the serosa of the corpus uteri and/or adnexae
- Stage IIIB: Vaginal involvement and/or parametrial involvement
- Stage IIIC: Metastases to pelvic and/or para-aortic lymph nodes.
- Stage IIIC1:Positive pelvic nodes.
- Stage IIIC2:Positive para-aortic nodes with or without positive pelvic lymph nodes.
- Stage IV:Tumor invades bladder and/or bowel mucosa, and/or distant metastases.
- Stage IVA: Tumor invasion of bladder and/or bowel mucosa
- Stage IVB: Distant metastasis, including intra-abdominal metastases and/or inguinal nodes.
