Özet
Frozen-section diagnoses and paraffin-section diagnoses were compared in 154 patients in stage I endometrial adenocarcinoma. In 134 (87%) of the 154 patients (p < 0.001), a corresponding depth of myometrial invasion was found, and in 132 (85.7%) patients the same tumor grade was established (p < 0.001). Frozen-section diagnosis of stage I endometrial adenocarcinoma is reliable for estimation of the extent of disease and accurately identifies patients who require surgical staging.
