Abstract
Twelve women with stage I endometrial adenocarcinoma were examined by magnetic resonance imaging before definitive surgery. Using this technique the depth of myometrical invasion, tumour site and cervical involvement were assessed and the results compared with the operative and pathological findings. Magnetic resonance imaging is a unique non-invasive method of assessing the early stages of endometrial adenocarcinoma before radiotherapy and surgery.
