A comparative analysis of MRI findings in endometrial cancer: differentiation between endometrioid adenocarcinoma, serous carcinoma, and clear cell carcinoma

Objective To assess the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of endometrial cancers and to reveal the differences between endometrioid carcinoma (EC), serous carcinoma (SC), and clear cell carcinoma (CCC). Methods In this study, 274 consecutive patients with histopathologically confirmed endome...

Description
Summary:Objective To assess the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of endometrial cancers and to reveal the differences between endometrioid carcinoma (EC), serous carcinoma (SC), and clear cell carcinoma (CCC). Methods In this study, 274 consecutive patients with histopathologically confirmed endometrial cancer (231 ECs, 25 SCs, and 18 CCCs) who underwent MRI before hysterectomy were enrolled. MRI images were retrospectively reviewed and compared between the three pathologies. Results The maximum diameters (55.6 ± 34.7 vs. 39.3 ± 21.6 vs. 39.4 ± 26.8 mm) ( p
