Endometrial Carcinoma: Tips for Reporting Pathologists

Explore a comprehensive lecture on endometrial carcinoma reporting for pathologists. Learn about the increasing global incidence of endometrial carcinoma and its improved outcomes in developed countries. Delve into the most up-to-date reporting format, focusing on critical elements such as type, grade, depth of myometrial invasion, and lymphovascular invasion. Discover the importance of using datasets for systematic reporting. Cover topics including risk factors, staging systems, clinical data, precursor lesions, grading systems, molecular classification, invasion patterns, lymphatic invasion, lower uterine segment significance, uterine serosa, adnexa, bladder and bowel biopsies, peritoneum sampling, lymphatic drainage, and lymph node reporting. Gain valuable insights from Professor Maysa Al-Hussaini in this 57-minute presentation from The Royal College of Pathologists.
