Uterine body invasion of XXXX as seen from surgical specimens.

@entity1 @entity5 @entity2622 @entity189 @entity3
To estimate the actual states of uterine body invasion of @entity2622 , 301 radically hysterectomized specimens were reviewed histologically. Incidence of uterine body invasion was 21.6% in all cases (65 cases out of 301), 7.8% in stage Ib, 25.5% in stage IIa, and 38.2% in stage IIb. Most of the positive invasion cases had spread to other surrounding tissues. Vaginal wall was invaded in 58.5% of all positive cases, parametrial infiltration was recognized in 87.7%, and pelvic lymph node @entity3 was seen in 52.3%. On the contrary, in negative cases these were 33.9, 19.1, and 15.7%, respectively. There was a higher incidence of the L type of Imai's CPL classification among positive cases of uterine body invasion than among negative cases (81.5% vs 38.1%). When @entity5 spread into the uterine body, peritoneal @entity189 and distant @entity3 increased. Thus the outcome of @entity1 with positive invasion was, naturally, poor. @entity1 with negative invasion had a 5-year survival rate of 92.4%, compared to 53.8% in @entity1 with positive uterine body invasion. These results suggest that uterine body invasion of @entity2622 is an important prognostic factor and treatment should be modified in such cases.
