Validation of an Endometrial Tumor Diameter Model for Risk Assessment in the Absence of Lymph Node Mapping

A journal article reports validation of a model that uses endometrial tumor diameter to assess risk when lymph node mapping is not performed. The item is published by Aurora Health Care, Inc. on 2020-10-23.

Endometrial Adenocarcinoma Longitudinal section through hysterectomy specimen. Fundus at top; lower uterine segment at bottom. Cervix not included. Endometrial cavity at the left, surface of tumor top left, parametrium at the right, bottom right very extensive adenomyosis.
