Ultrasound Evaluation of the Myometrium Using the MUSA Terminology Comparison With Histology
Sponsor: Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
Summary
The main objective is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the MUSA terms and definitions, as defined in the paper by Van den Bosch T, Dueholm M, ea. in 2015, to differentiate between different types of myometrial lesions of more than 1 cm. The primary aim is the diagnostic accuracy of the MUSA terms and definitions and the secondary aim the development of a prediction model.

Hysterectomy
Surgery includes different types of hysterectomy: vaginal hysterectomy, total abdominal hysterectomy and laparoscopic or Robotic hysterectomy. The type of hysterectomy does not influence histological outcome, as long as the uterus is removed in one part (no power morcellation). Indications for surgery and the type of surgery are according to the departments' protocols. If the patient is deemed to be inoperable due to the extent of the disease, a representive biopsy (e.g. trucut biopsy) will be accepted if sufficiently motivated by the oncology team.
