[Comparative clinico-morphological characteristics of the variants of adeno-squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the endometrium].

A clinico-morphological analysis of the data available on cases of adeno-squamous carcinoma (72) and endometrial adenocarcinoma (102) pointed to a correlation between the decrease in the degree of cell differentiation in said neoplasms and the decline in the frequency of hyperestrimism and metabolic-endocrine disorders. As a result over 70% of well-differentiated cell tumors were referred to one pathogenetic pattern of endometrial carcinoma (after Bokhman) and more than 50% of poorly-differentiated cell tumors--to another one. These findings further support the rationale for distinguishing the well- and poorly-differentiated cell patterns of adeno-squamous carcinoma. They may be used in establishing individual prognosis as well as choosing optimal scheme of treatment.
