| Article Title: | Clinical approach to diagnosis and management of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma |
| Abstract: | This article focuses on the most important neoplastic epithelial lesions of the uterus, endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma. The primary management of hyperplastic lesions and carcinoma is often surgical but nonsurgical options are possible for both, depending on specific patients and tumor characteristics. Many controversies still exist regarding the optimal medical and surgical treatments of hyperplasias and carcinomas of the endometrium. There is a need to more accurately select patients for lymph node sampling or dissection. The role of adjuvant therapies for endometrial carcinomas is still under investigation. This review covers current understanding in the diagnosis and clinical management of endometrial hyperplasias and carcinomas. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. |
