Abstract
Factors of predictive, prognostic value in endometrial neoplasia are c lassic clinicopathological correlates, such as cytological and archite ctural atypia and special variants of adenocarcinoma, as well as the e xtent of invasion and spread. Advances in molecular biology in the fie ld of oncogenes, cell proliferation studies, and so on have, as yet, f ailed to provide an alternative to traditional prognostic parameters. The overvaluation of these data may lead to overtreatment.
