Abstract

This article gives an overview of the pathologic assessment of resection specimens removed for uterine carcinoma. Areas of controversy and recent developments in pathologic staging are addressed. This includes assessment of myometrial invasion in the setting of adenomyosis, fallopian tube involvement, and vascular invasion. An overview of the role and evaluation of sentinel node assessments in the staging of endometrial carcinoma is provided.
