Abstract

To study the values of transvaginal color Doppler sonography (TV-CDS) in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer. In this study we selected 42 pathologically defined endometrial cancer cases, in which the preoperative TV- CDS results were reviewed and the myometrial invasion investigated in comparison with the postoperative histopathological findings, for extracting the ultrasonographic features of this malignancy in different clinical stages. TV-CDS yielded the diagnoses of endometrial cancer that were highly consistent (with a rate of 95.24%) with the pathological findings, also capable of detecting myometrial invasion in 93.33% of the cases. The depth of myometrial invasion is accurately defined by TV-CDS in 80.95% of the cases. TV-CDS provides valuables evidence for the diagnosis and clinical staging of endometrial cancer.
