Zusammenfassung

Die vorliegende Übersicht fasst die relevanten Aspekte der S3-Leitlinie Endometriumkarzinom zusammen. Die Empfehlungen umfassen die Aufarbeitung und Befunderhebung bei Abrasionen und Präparaten der (radikalen) Hysterektomie sowie der Lymphonodektomien, einschließlich der Sentinel-Lymphknoten-Diagnostik. Die Leitlinie berücksichtigt neben praktischen Aspekten der Pathologie ebenso die klinischen Notwendigkeiten an die Histopathologie für eine optimale operative, strahlentherapeutische und adjuvante Therapie der Patientinnen. Karzinosarkome werde als besondere Variante dem Endometriumkarzinom zugeordnet. Erstmals wird ein Algorithmus zur Diagnostik des Lynch-Syndroms bei Patientinnen mit einem Endometriumkarzinoms definiert. Zusätzlich werden morphologische Prognosefaktoren zusammengefasst.

Abstract

The present article summarises the relevant aspects of the S3 guidelines on endometrioid carcinomas. The recommendations include the processing rules of fractional currettings as well as for hysterectomy specimens and lymph node resections (including sentinel lymph nodes). Besides practical aspects, the guidelines consider the needs of the clinicians for appropriate surgical and radiotherapeutic treatment of the patients. Carcinosarcomas are assigned to the endometrial carcinoma as a special variant. For the first time, an algorithmic approach for evaluation of the tumour tissue for Lynch syndrome is given. Prognostic factors based on morphologic findings are summarised.
