Magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of endometrial cancer

Can magnetic resonance imaging be used to diagnose endometrial cancer? According to experienced oncologists, there are many early symptoms of endometrial cancer. At the same time, the symptoms vary depending on the severity of the disease. At the same time, the physical constitutions of endometrial cancer patients are different, which will result in different manifestations of endometrial cancer.

Introduction: Endometrial cancer is an extremely serious gynecological disease. As a malignant tumor, it is also called uterine cancer. Its incidence rate is second only to cervical cancer. Since the true cause is still unknown, it is difficult to detect in life. What are the scientific diagnoses in medicine? Let me show you.

Five scientific diagnostic methods:

1. Hysteroscopy

It can detect endometrial cancer at an early stage, which is helpful for the location and staging of uterine cancer. Biopsy can be performed under the guidance of microscopic specimens, and the precursor lesions of endometrial cancer can be tracked and observed.

2. Immunological diagnosis

Detection of the CA125 value of monoclonal antibody in endometrial washing fluid may become an auxiliary diagnostic method for endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women.

3. Estimation of myometrial invasion

The depth of myometrial invasion is closely related to lymph node metastasis and prognosis. The depth of myometrial invasion can be determined by CT examination or hysterography.

4. Cytological Diagnosis

1. Vaginal cytology: The accuracy of smear test of specimens taken from the posterior fornix of the vagina is only about 50%. The accuracy of smear test of specimens taken from the cervical canal can reach 75%.

2. Uterine cytology examination: You can use the Lsacs cell collector to suction the uterine cavity specimen with negative pressure for smear examination, or use the uterine cavity washing method to suction the flushing fluid for smear examination, with an accuracy rate of up to 84~93%.

3. Others: such as endometrial cell scraping method, uterine cavity pressurized fluid washing method, etc., the purpose is to increase the positive detection rate.

5. Histological Diagnosis

1. Diagnostic curettage: It is the most effective and reliable method for diagnosing endometrial cancer. For patients with suspected cervical cancer, segmental curettage should be performed routinely to determine the site of cancer occurrence and clinical stage.

2. Suction biopsy: Vabra suction biopsy has been used in recent years, and it has been reported that the accuracy rate is over 95%.

3. Others: Such as sponge swab biopsy and the spiral specimen collection method using a paddle-shaped clearer, etc., which also aim to increase the biopsy positivity rate, but require special equipment and have not been widely promoted.

Oncology experts remind: Endometrial cancer is very harmful. It not only affects people's lives, but can even cause other diseases that cannot be ignored in patients with endometrial cancer. Therefore, we must take endometrial cancer seriously and choose a professional oncology hospital to receive regular examinations and treatments.
