Validation of ultrasound strategies to assess tumor extension and to predict high-risk endometrial cancer in women from the prospective IETA (International Endometrial Tumour Analysis) 4 cohort.

CONCLUSIONS: In the hands of experienced ultrasound examiners SA was superior to taking measurements for prediction of deep MI and CSI of endometrial cancer especially in grade 1-2 tumors. The mathematical models for prediction of high-risk cancer performed as expected. The best strategy to predict high-risk endometrial cancer was either to simply combine SA with biopsy grade or to use the subjective 2-step strategy, both having an accuracy of 80%.
