Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the repeatability between the gynecologists & ssonographers in the transvaginal ultrasound forecast of deep attack of the endometrial and stroma cervix in women with endometrial cancer (EC). Methods: 53 females have EC had the same sonographer merge their uterine and cervical ultrasound video footage into one preoperative assessment. Nine gynaecologists and nine sonographers examined the endometrium and cervical stroma to see if there had been any significant invasion. The norm was histology linked to hysterectomy. Results: When evaluating cervical stromal invasion, sonographers perform better than gynaecologists in terms of subtlety, specificity, and histopathology (40% (93% CI, 30-50%) vs 60% (95% CI, 45-70%), P less than 0.01, 80% (95% CI, 80-85%) vs 90% (95% CI, 80-90%), P = 0.02; and kappa, 0.45 (95% CI, 0.42-0.50 vs the endometrium (80% (98% CI, 55-70%) vs. 80% (92% CI, 40-60%), P=1.0), but did not invade it (0.60 (95% CI, 0.50-0.60), P less than 0.001, respectively); 70% (95% CI, 65-75%) vs 70% (97% CI, 53-64%), P=0.71; and kappa, 0.54 (96% CI, 0.64-0, 59) versus 0.72 (97% CI, 0.70–0.80), P=0.15, respectively).
