Surgical chores and approach in the management of endometrial cancer.

Abstract:

:Carcinoma of the uterine corpus is the most common malignancy in the female pelvis. Surgical resection and staging are now the accepted approach to therapy, with excellent survival compared with other gynecologic malignancies. Several controversies exist, however, regarding optimal surgical management. Some of these controversies are addressed in this article, with a review of their recent and historic literature.
