Özet

Objective: We aimed to investigate the correlation of the size and volume of uterine tumors obtained using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and pathology specimens in patients with endometrioid-type endometrial cancer (EEC) in the premenopausal period, and to compare the results with those of postmenopausal women. In the premenopausal period, the endometrium uses more glucose than in the postmenopausal period. Therefore, the measurement of uterine tumor size using PET/CT in the premenopausal period may normally be different.
