Brief Title: Assessing Uterine Ultrasound Done as a Diagnostic Tool for the Depth of Carcinoma Invasion
Official Title: Assessing the Ultrasound Done on a the Uterus After Hysterectomy as a Diagnostic Tool for the Depth of Endometrial Carcinoma Invasion Into the Myometrium
Study ID: NCT02407535
Brief Summary: In this study the investigators aim to assess the diagnostic performance of intraoperative, ultrasonographic assessment of the surgical extracted uterus for determining myometrial invasion's depth in comparison to preoperative ultrasound, intraoperative gross inspection and final pathological report (gold standard). The investigators hope that intraoperative gross inspection of the extracted uterus might offer an additional intraoperative tool for assessing the need for pelvic lymphadenectomy in early stage of endometrial cancer at least as good as pathological exam.
