Abstract
Purpose This is an official, recently updated guideline published and coordinated by the German Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics ( Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe , DGGG) together with the Austrian Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics ( Österreichische Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe , OEGGG) and the Swiss Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics ( Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe , SGGG) as part of the guidelines program. Because of their rarity and heterogeneous histopathology, uterine sarcomas are challenging in terms of their clinical management, and treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach. Methods This S2k guideline was first published in 2015. The update published here is again the result of a structured consensus of a representative interdisciplinary group of mandate holders and experts who carried out a selective search of the literature on uterine sarcomas. Members of the participating professional societies achieved a formal consensus on recommendations and statements after a structured consensus process. Recommendations Recommendations were made about the epidemiology, classification, staging of uterine sarcomas, symptoms, general diagnostic workup, general pathology and genetic predisposition for uterine sarcomas, leiomyosarcomas, endometrial stromal sarcomas (low-grade and high-grade), undifferentiated uterine sarcomas, adenosarcomas, and rhabdomyosarcoma of the uterus in children and adolescents. The guideline also discusses the follow-up of uterine sarcomas, the management of morcellated uterine sarcomas, and the information provided to patients.
