Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the most common malignancy of the female reproductive tract. Radiologists have a central role in the diagnostic workup and subsequent staging and follow-up of patients with EC. Preoperative staging is indicated per the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) when extra-uterine disease is suspected by clinical symptoms, physical findings, or abnormal laboratory values. The 2009 FIGO staging system allows for significant imaging contribution to the pre-operative evaluation and informs clinical management.

1. Descriptive review of endometrial carcinoma including epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and histopathology. 2. Review of the 2009 FIGO staging guidelines and staging implications. 3. Multimodal (US, CT, PET-CT, MR) imaging review of the imaging characteristics of EC and imaging findings relevant to staging and/or treatment.
