Abstract
The clinical staging of the malignoma of the uterine corpus according to the FIGO classification corresponds in only 85.7% in stage I and 35.7% in stage II to the histopathologic staging after operation. Tumor grading and histology from D and C differ in 31.8% and 9.4% respectively from the hysterectomy specimen. We propose therefore to prefer surgical and histopathological staging to the pure clinical FIGO-staging in order to plan adjuvant therapy and for comparing therapeutic results of different patient groups as well.
