76: Comparison of electrical properties between tumor-bearing and non tumor-bearing uterus at the time of hysterectomy
The most common occult malignancy in gynecologic surgery is uterine cancer. Unintentional spillage of cells can occur during morcellation and subtotal hysterectomy performed with supportive repair. While available screening for endometrial cancer may reduce the risk of occult malignancy, it is not cost effective in the asymptomatic patient. One diagnostic method that has not been explored for the uterine body, but has shown promise in cervical, breast, prostate, and skin cancer is bioimpedance analysis.
