Stage IA: The cancer is found only in the endometrium or less than one-half of the myometrium. Stage IB: The tumor has spread to one-half or more of the myometrium.
What does FIGO Grade 3 mean?
We designate a tumor as FIGO grade 3 if the solid areas resemble poorly differentiated nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma.
What does FIGO stage 2 mean?
Doctors use the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system for cervical cancer. There are 4 stages, numbered 1 to 4. Stage 2 means the cancer has begun to spread outside the neck of the womb (cervix) into the surrounding tissues.

FIGO grade. Description. 1. 5% or less of tumour tissue is solid tumour growth. The cancer cells are well-differentiated.
What does FIGO Grade 2 mean?
International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Grade 2 endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma carries a 88% 5-yr survival rate. They are defined by >5% but <50% solid epithelial component. A small subset may display <5% solid growth, but marked nuclear atypia and are designated Grade 2.
What is the survival rate for Carcinosarcoma?
Reported five-year survival rates are between 30-40%. About 35% of carcinosarcomas are not confined to the uterus at diagnosis with corresponding median survival of 21 months.
What does FIGO stage 3 mean?
Doctors use the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system for cervical cancer. There are 4 stages, numbered 1 to 4. Stage 3 means the cancer has spread away from the cervix and into surrounding structures in the pelvis (the area between the hip bones).
What does FIGO Grade 1 3 mean?
According to current practice standards, EECs are assigned a FIGO grade based on the degree of glandular differentiation. Grade 1 tumors exhibit ≤5% solid nonglandular, nonsquamous growth; grade 2 tumors from 6% to 50%; and grade 3 tumors >50% 1–3.
Can you survive uterine carcinosarcoma?
Is uterine carcinosarcoma curable?
Surgery alone can cure uterine sarcoma if the tumor hasn’t spread outside of the uterus. In most cases we recommend other therapies only if the cancer has spread (metastasized) to other organs. These approaches can include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or radiation therapy.
