Development and external validation of new ultrasound-based mathematical models for preoperative prediction of high-risk endometrial cancer
2014
Abstract
Objectives To develop and validate strategies, using new ultrasound-based mathematical models, for the prediction of high-risk endometrial cancer and compare them with strategies using previously developed models or the use of preoperative grading only. Methods Women with endometrial cancer were prospectively examined using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasound imaging.
More than 25 ultrasound, demographic and histological variables were analyzed.
