Clinical and immunohistochemical assessment of proliferative activity in uterine myoma

Abstract

A tumor of the uterus, consisting of smooth muscles, is called myoma and fibroids, and in practice, the terms are used synonymously. Myoma of the uterus is a common disease in women of childbearing age. The frequency of its detection without regard to age is 2.45%. With age, its prevalence increases and reaches 8.31% by the age of 50. The estimate of the final probability of contracting uterine fibroids in the population throughout life is 9.7%. According to sectional data, uterine fibroids, including small nodes, occur in 20% of women. In 50% of cases, these tumors are manifested by clinically pronounced disorders that lead a woman to a doctor.
