| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of gross examination and transvaginal ultrasonography in the assessment of the depth of myometrial infiltration when they are used alone or together as a combined test. STUDY DESIGN: The data of 219 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of endometrial cancer were evaluated retrospectively. Transvaginal ultrasound was carried out as a part of the routine preoperative work-up within three days of surgical intervention in all cases. All patients underwent hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and routine surgical staging and all uterine specimens were examined immediately after hysterectomy. The depth of myometrial invasion was classified into two groups: no or <50% invasion and ≥50% invasion. The findings of ultrasound and intraoperative gross examination were compared with the final histopathological results. The data of these two methods were integrated to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the combined test. If the results of myometrial invasion evaluation were different for the same patient, the deeper one (the depth of invasion ≥50%) was accepted. RESULTS: Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of preoperative ultrasonography in predicting myometrial infiltration ≥50% were 62%, 81%, 60%, 82%, and 75% respectively. The corresponding rates for intraoperative gross examination were 61%, 88%, 70%, 83% and 79%, respectively. For the combined test they were 78%, 76%, 60%, 88% and 70% respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in sensitivity and specificity between ultrasound and gross examination. The sensitivity of the combined test was significantly higher than that of ultrasound and gross examination (p=0.001 and p<0.0001, respectively). The specificity of the combined test was significantly lower than that of TVS and gross examination (p=0.008 and p<0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSION: Combining ultrasonography and intraoperative gross examination may be a good option to assess the depth of myometrial invasion, as it has a higher sensitivity and negative predictive value in comparison to using these methods alone. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
