While the new staging system aids in precision medicine and may lead to better documentation of prognostic risk categories of endometrial cancer, it is complex and calls for an integrated approach and better communication between multiple disciplines involved in the management of endometrial cancer. In this review article, we address how the referral patterns to imaging services might change considering the updated staging system for endometrial cancer. We also discuss the practical aspects and nuances involved in the radiology service delivery and reporting practices as we adopt the new FIGO staging system for managing endometrial cancer patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1777355","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,16]],"date-time":"2023-12-16T00:09:42Z","timestamp":1702685382000},"page":"309-323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Impact of the 2023 FIGO Staging System for Endometrial Cancer on the Use of Imaging Services: An Indian Perspective"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9093-375X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anuradha","family":"Chandramohan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Abdominal Imaging Unit, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6752-8323","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Smitha","family":"Manchanda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis and Interventional Radiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6075-8361","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rupa","family":"Renganathan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Kovai Medical Center and Hospitals, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Palak Bhavesh","family":"Popat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diva","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, The Gujarat Cancer and Research Institute, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8265-9674","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ekta","family":"Dhamija","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis and Interventional Radiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7064-2020","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anitha","family":"Sen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Regional Cancer Center, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"02","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"383","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.14923","article-title":"FIGO staging of endometrial cancer: 2023","volume":"162","author":"J S Berek","year":"2023","journal-title":"Int J Gynaecol Obstet"},{"issue":"10","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1145","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1545-4279","article-title":"2020 WHO classification of female genital tumors","volume":"81","author":"A K H\u00f6hn","year":"2021","journal-title":"Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1063","DOI":"10.1200\/GO.20.00122","article-title":"Cancer Statistics, 2020: report from National Cancer Registry Programme, India","volume":"6","author":"P Mathur","year":"2020","journal-title":"JCO Glob Oncol"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"527","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brachy.2020.12.006","article-title":"Substantial lymphovascular space invasion predicts worse outcomes in early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer","volume":"20","author":"E A Barnes","year":"2021","journal-title":"Brachytherapy"},{"issue":"07","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"849","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(17)30438-2","article-title":"The TNM classification of malignant tumours-towards common understanding and reasonable expectations","volume":"18","author":"B O'Sullivan","year":"2017","journal-title":"Lancet Oncol"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"153","DOI":"10.1007\/s00428-020-03007-z","article-title":"ESGO\/ESTRO\/ESP Guidelines for the management of patients with endometrial carcinoma","volume":"478","author":"N Concin","year":"2021","journal-title":"Virchows Arch"},{"issue":"11","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1628","DOI":"10.1080\/0284186X.2019.1643036","article-title":"Lymphovascular space invasion as a predictive factor for lymph node metastases and survival in endometrioid endometrial cancer -
