Abstract
Advanced age, postmenopausal status, obesity, polycystic ovarian syndrome/chronic anovulation, and tamoxifen use are the important risk factors for endometrial carcinoma (EC). Transvaginal ultrasonography is the imaging modality of first choice while evaluating women with postmenopausal bleeding. Office endometrial biopsy (EB) is the first step for evaluating the endometrium among women with postmenopausal bleeding. Once diagnosis of EC is confirmed, MRI is the most effective imaging modality for pre-management staging of EC especially in early stages, whereas CECT is effective in determining peritoneal deposits and parenchymal liver deposits. PET-CT is found to be effective for distant metastases, more so in recurrent diseases.
