Search for: [Abstract = "Introduction\: Endometrial cancer is one of the most frequent malignancies in female patients. Morbidity and mortality rates vary and are heavily dependent on the economic status. The most frequent histological type, known as endometroid adenocarcinoma, represents nearly 80% of cases, and is associated with high estrogen levels. As a well\-differentiated malignancy, endometroid cancer presents good prognosis. However, due to the advanced patients’ age and additional medical conditions at the time of diagnosis, the risk of treatment complications is significantly increased. The management of choice is surgery. Clinical staging \(anatomical extent of the tumour\) at diagnosis and optimal treatment planning are extremely important prognostic factors for patients with endometrial cancer. Final staging is always set after surgery and pathological\: evaluation. However preoperative preliminary assessment of the tumour extent is even more significant, for the clinical point of view, to optimize patient treatment. For this purpose, a variety of imaging modalities, especially computed tomography \(CT\), magnetic resonance imaging \(MRI\), and also positron emission tomography \(PET CT\) used in countries with better funding for health care, is applies. In recent years, transvaginal ultrasound \(TUS\) became comparable and useful technique in preoperative preliminary staging of the disease. Objective"]
