3. UTERUS
⢠Uterus is the female reproductive child
bearing organ located in the true pelvis
between the bladder and rectum
⢠Size:8 cm*5cm*2.5cm (adults)
31.07.2022 3
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
4. ⢠Uterus is divided into three parts
⢠Fundus-part above the opening of fallopian tube
⢠Body âline of division from cervix corresponds to internal os
⢠Cervix-supravaginal and vaginal portion
⢠Uterus-hollow muscular organ composed of 3 layers
⢠Inner âendometrium[tunica mucosa]
⢠Middle-myometrium[tunica muscularis]
⢠Outer âperimetium[tunica serosa]

5. What is
Endometrium??
⢠Eytmology
Endo : âinnerâ from latin
Metra: âuterusâ from Greek
From Maetra Means Mother
⢠Uterus is an hollow
muscular organ located in
true pelvis between the
bladder and rectum
⢠Uterus is divided into
fundus, body(corpus)
and cervix enclosing
uterine cavity
⢠This uterine cavity is lined
by Endometrium whereas
the wall of the composed
of myometrium (smooth
muscle fibers
5
6. Is Endometrium just a Lining of
uterine cavity?
⢠NO!
⢠It prevents adhesions between opposed walls of
myometrium
⢠Therefore maintains the patency of Uterine cavity
Endometrial Paradox which is that the endometrium is
the lining of uterine cavity but without endometrium
there would be no uterine cavity
6
7. Changes in Endometrium during
menstrual cycle
Both Functional layer of endometrium and stroma are
responsive to hormonal influence
â˘Estrogen:- proliferative stage(follicular phase)
â˘Progestron:- seceretory stage(luteal phase)
7
8. LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
⢠Body of the uterus:- drains to obturator and
internal and external iliac noses
⢠Fundus of the uterus:- para aorta as the
lymphatics accompany ovarian arteries
8
9. ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA
⢠Global:- 15th most common carcinoma worldwide
and ranks sixth among cancers affecting women
⢠India:- 0.88 million cancer cases with an incidence
rate of 105.5 per 100,000 in women.The incidence
of endometrial cancer cases are very low in India
⢠Highest being observed in Bangalore and Delhi
9
11. WORKUP
⢠History & Physical Examination
⢠CBC,RFT, LFT
⢠Endometrial tissue sampling â Biopsy or D&C
⢠ER/PR ,Her2neu is recommended for stage III,IV
and recurrent /metastastic settings
⢠Imaging - USG abdomen and pelvis
- CT/MRI Abdomen
- PET CT (not mandatory)
- Chest CT/ Xray
31.07.2022 11
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
12. Major Clinical presentation
⢠80 to 90% present with postmenopausal vaginal
bleeding
Thumb rule:- postmenopausal bleeding is assumed to
be endometrial cancer until proven otherwise
(eventhough the incidence of endometrial cancer
presenting with postmenopausal bleeding is around
10% to 15%)
12
13. Presentations in early stages
⢠5% to 10%:- Abnormal vaginal discharge
⢠5%:- Asymptomatic
Asymptomatic patients are suspected to have
endometrial cancer in settings of
â˘Abnormal pap smear in routine screening
â˘Thickened endometrium in routine transvaginal
ultrasound
13
14. Presentation in advanced stages
âUrinary or rectal bleeding
âConstipation
âLower limb lymphedema
âAbdominal distention due to ascities
âPain
âReferred pain to hypogastrium/both iliac fossa
called simpsonâs pain
⢠Non severe and tends to occur at the same time each
day, lasting for 1-2 hours
14
16. Diagnostic work up
Endometrial sampling-
Gold Standard
Endometrial sampline
achieved by two
methods
â Biopsy
â Dilation and curettage
16
17. Endometrial Biopsy
⢠Easily performed in the office with pipelle or similar
device- It is the preferred approach.
⢠Sensitivity :- postmenopausal status- 99.6%
pre-menopausal status- 91%
⢠BUT Specificity:- both pre and postmenopausal
women â more than 98%
17
18. Then where is D&C used?
⢠Routine D&C Recommended in patients who are
considered for conservative fertility sparing
approaches
⢠If office sampling is inadequate
⢠If symptoms persists
18
19. Can every patient with
postmenopausal bleeding
undergo sampling??
19
20. ⢠Only 10 to 15% patients with postmenopausal
bleeding have endometrial cancer
⢠Therefore it is unclear how feasible it is to perform
endometrial sampling on every patient
⢠Solution:- Transvaginal ultrasound may be
considered as useful tool in assessing ptâs vaginal
bleeding to select patients for sampling
20
23. Postmenopausal Endometrial
thickness
Vaginal bleeding (not on tamoxifen)
⢠Upper limit of normal < 5mm
⢠Risk of carcinoma is 7% if endometrium is >5mm
No H/o Vaginal bleeding
⢠Normal Cut off value </= 8 mm, upto 11mm
⢠Risk of carcinoma is 7% if endometrium is >11mm
⢠If on Tamoxifen normal < 5mm
31.07.2022 23
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
24. CT SCAN
⢠CT scan â lesion seen as hypodense mass,
diffuse, circumscribed vegetative or
polypoidal mass
⢠Helpful in assessing regional node and distant
mets
⢠Loss of periureteral fat â indicates
Parametrium involved
31.07.2022 24
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
25. MRI
⢠Most accurate imaging study to assess tumor extension
in endometrial cancer, especially myometrial invasion
⢠Clear junctional zone or preservation of sharp
delineation between tumor and myometrium â Disease
limited to endometrium
⢠Extension of high signal intensity into outer myometrium
with peripheral rim of normal intact myometrium â Deep
myometrial invasion
⢠MRI helpful in delineate tumor extension into cervix
⢠Nodal mets- sensitivity is 43.5%,specificity 95.9%
31.07.2022 25
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
27. PET SCAN
⢠Little benefit in assessing extension of tumor
⢠Nodal mets sensitivity is 72%
specificity is 94%
⢠Main advantage â accuracy in detection of
distant mets
⢠Disadvantage: inability to detect mets in
node < 5mm
31.07.2022 27
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
28. CA 125
⢠Cancer Antigen 125
⢠Elevated CA 125 is seen in 25-48% of endometrial cancer
⢠Monitoring response to treatment ( declining CA125 in
response to treatment)
⢠Normal range â 0 to 35 units/ml
⢠Range >35 â indicates possibility of cancer
⢠Hsieh et al â found that preoperative level >35 U/ml
correlated significantly with regional lymphnode mets
,suggested such levels could be indication of full pelvic
and para-aortic lymphadenectomy at time of surgical
staging in absence of metastatic disease
31.07.2022 28
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
29. Update on CA 125
⢠Askin et al:-
⢠High levels of CA 125 significantly correlated with
Advanced stage and lymph node metastasis
⢠Cut off determined by this study is 20U/ml
With 75% and 69.5% sensitivity and specificity
But has 80.6% PPV and 84.9% NPV
29
31. Treatment
⢠Primary treatment is Surgery
⢠Staging laparotomy- TAH+BSO+ Pelvic node
assessment with/without para aortic node
dissection, peritoneal wash
⢠why BSA ? - synchronous ovarian ca in 5%
⢠if age >50 years it increase upto 10%
⢠Along with visual inspection of peritoneal,
diaphragmatic , serosal surface â suspicious lesion
biopsy should be done, and omental biopsy
⢠Omental biopsy- commonly done for serous, clear
cell, carcinosarcoma histologies
31.07.2022 31
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
32. SURGERY
⢠TAH+BSO : Laparotomy based approach , simple
hysterectomy is done
⢠LAPAROSCOPIC VAGINAL HYSTERECTOMY: Minimally
invasive surgery, gained importance recently
⢠ROBOTIC HYSTERECTOMY : Alternative minimally
invasive surgery in endometrial cancers
⢠RADICAL HYSTERECTOMY : Not routinely performed
due to low incidence of parametrial involvement
⢠DEBULKING SURGERY /CYTOREDUCTION : For
recurrent and advanced diseases
31.07.2022 32
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
33. Adequate Sampling (perez)
⢠Five lymphatic station to be removed from
each side â Common iliac, internal iliac ,
external iliac, obturator node and para aortic
node (or)
⢠Total of 10 nodes to be removed
31.07.2022 33
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
34. Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
1. The radiolabeled colloid most commonly
injected into the cervix is technetium-
TC99m
2. colored dyes are available in a variety of
forms (Isosulfan Blue 1%, Methylene Blue
1%, and Patent Blue 2.5% sodium).
3. Indocyanine green (ICG) recently emerged
as a useful imaging dye that requires a
near-infrared camera for localization,
provides a very high SLN detection rate,
and is commonly used.

65. Conventional RT
⢠Position - Prone to displace the small intestines from the radiation
field., or supine with full bladder
⢠Target volume - pelvic lymph nodes, including obturator, external,
internal, and lower common iliac groups and the proximal two-
thirds of the vagina. The presacral nodes are not included unless
patients have gross cervical involvement.
⢠Energy : High-energy linear accelerators (15 MV).
31.07.2022 65
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
66. Conventional RT
⢠Technique : Four-field pelvic-box technique
⢠Borders : AP/PA FIELDS
⢠superior border - L5-S1
⢠Inferior border - bottom of the obturator foramina/ ischial tuberosity
⢠Lateral border - 2 cm lateral to inlet of the true bony pelvis/
femoral pulse.
⢠LATERAL FIELDS
⢠Anterior border - front of the pubis symphysis
⢠Posterior border - S2-S3.
⢠Superior and Inferior borders are the same for the AP/PA fields
31.07.2022 66
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
68. ⢠Dose : 50.4 Gy / 1.8 Gy/#- pelvic radiation is used alone
⢠45 Gy/1.8 Gy/# - when combined with intravaginal RT.
⢠When para-aortic nodes are involved, extended field RT is used.
⢠CT simulation is crucial for accurate delineation of the kidneys, small bowel,
and liver in addition to nodal target.
⢠Lower border - same as in pelvic radiation
⢠Upper border - T12-L1 interspace.
⢠Lateral Border - Tip of Transverse process of vertebra
⢠Dose is 45.0 Gy at 1.8 Gy or 1.5 Gy if patients develop GI toxicity.
31.07.2022 68
PRAGATHEESWARI, MMC.
69. EXTENDED FIELD RT
⢠For pts with positive para aortic
nodes.
⢠It should include the
pelvic nodes,pericaval,interaortocav
al and the para aortic nodes.
⢠Preferred approach is four field box
technique, in order to lower the
dose to small bowels.
⢠Field borders:
⢠UB-T12 /L1 interspace.
⢠LB -L5/S1 interspace.
⢠IMRT is the preferred choice to
reduce the toxicity.

70. Brachytherapy
⢠Is used to deliver high dose to the vagina while minimizing the
dose to the organ at risk .
⢠The vaginal Cylinder is the most common applicator used .
⢠The radiation may be delivered as
1) low-dose-rate (LDR) 2)high dose rate(HDR) .
⢠The LDR to the surface is 50-60 Gy over 60-70 hrs when Used
alone
