Abstract:
The FIGO (International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics) classification for the staging of endometrial cancer was updated in 2023. This new classification, based on clinicopathological data, represents a challenge for the radiologist, who needs to know histological data before assigning a prognostic stage to the tumour. This article provides the histopathological information necessary for a better understanding of this FIGO 2023 classification. It also presents explanatory graphs and a comparative study with the previous FIGO classification, highlighting the new features and possible errors that can be made, all with the aim of facilitating the radiologist's work.
