No significant modifiers were identified for sensitivity or specificity.<jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic>The synthesized measures presented here for the first time showed that accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of IGE were 87, 75 and 92%, respectively, which indicates that IGE is useful for estimating depth of myometrial invasion and staging of endometrial cancer in clinical practice. The degree to which the relatively low values of some of its performance indicators could be improved remains to be elucidated in order for the values to be comparable with those from frozen section biopsies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0412.2012.01406.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,27]],"date-time":"2012-03-27T18:07:36Z","timestamp":1332871656000},"page":"779-793","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Validity of intraoperative gross examination of myometrial invasion in patients with endometrial cancer: a meta\u2010analysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"IOANNIS D.","family":"MAVROMATIS","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"CONSTANTINE N.","family":"ANTONOPOULOS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"IOANNIS L.","family":"MATSOUKIS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"CONSTANTINOS C.","family":"FRANGOS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ALKISTIS","family":"SKALKIDOU","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"GEORGE","family":"CREATSAS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ELENI TH.","family":"PETRIDOU","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","unstructured":"International Agency For Research on Cancer (IARC).Cancer Incidence in Five Continents.
