Myometrial invasion

Cytokeratin immunostains are occasionally used to detect microscopic deposits of occult carcinoma cells in lymph nodes. Carcinomas demonstrating the micro-cystic, elongated, and fragmented pattern (MELF) of myometrial invasion are frequently associated with lym-phovascular invasion and deposits of carcinoma in lymph nodes that resemble histiocytes—this is an obvious application of the use of keratin stains to conhrm epithelial differentiation and the presence of rare, single tumor cells in lymph node sinuses.Keratin stains have also been studied in the setting of sentinel lymph node evaluation, but this is currently experimental. [Pg.710]

Despite the improvements of CT technology, staging capabilities for endometrial carcinoma are limited. In a study published by Hardesty et al. (2001), sensitivity and specificity for evaluation of the depth of myometrial invasion was 83 and 42%, respectively. The ability of helical CT to evaluate the presence of cervical invasion is also limited with a sensitivity of 25% and a specificity of 70%. [Pg.450]
