Core Tip

Core Tip: Under unique circumstances, cervical cancer or precancerous lesions can spread directly upward into the uterine cavity, forming endometrial squamous cell carcinoma, which may alter staging and affect prognosis. Emphasis should be placed on prevention as well as early diagnosis, and although a gynecological ultrasound and an endometrial biopsy may help, their impact is still limited. It is imperative to explore the best clinical strategies for treating this disease.
