Abstract
The increase in the incidence of endometrial cancer is noted not only in postmenopausal women, but also in a socially active group of women of reproductive age, starting from 25 years. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the main methods of non-invasive diagnosis of endometrial cancer. Our study included 69 patients with endometrial cancer stages I–IV aged 30 to 79 years. The diagnostic informativeness of the MRI method in detecting tumor invasion into the myometrium for all groups was: sensitivity – 82.30%, specificity – 6.6%, PPV – 93.30%, NPV – 40%. The diagnostic informativeness of the ultrasound method in detecting tumor invasion into the myometrium for all groups was: sensitivity – 91.3%, specificity – 88.4%. The peculiarity of this study was to evaluate the possibilities of radiation methods (ultrasound, MRI) in the staging of endometrial cancer.
