Gyn onc Flashcards
Most common type of cervical cancer
Squamous cell carcinoma, 70-75%
Favorable prognosis with early detection and treatment
Second most common cervical cancer
Adenocarcinoma, 25%
Favorable prognosis with early detection and treatment
Mostly associated with HPV16 (more oncogenic)
Type 2 endometrial CA
10-20% of EC
- Clear cell/papillary serous, high grade with poor prognosis
- risk factors: smoking, non-white, age, underweight
- arises in atrophic endometrium
Stage IA-B uterine sarcoma
Limited to uterus
A: 5 cm or less in diameter
B: >5 cm
Stage IIA-B uterine sarcoma
Extends beyond uterus within pelvis
A: adnexa
B: other pelvic tissues
Stage IIIA-C uterine sarcoma
Infiltrates abdominal tissues
A: one site
B: more than one site
C: Regional lymph node mets (para-aortic/pelvic)
Stage IVA-B uterine sarcoma
Tumor spreads to distant sites
A: bladder/rectum
B: distant mets
