Between January 1988 and January 1991, 37 advanced cervical cancer patients were operated and explorated by: clinical examination and endoluminal ultrasonography under general anesthesia (endovesical, endovaginal and endorectal US); tomodensitometry (26 cases); MR imaging (14 cases) and cytoscopy (33 cases). Results of these explorations have been compared with post-operative histopathology. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and accuracy of each exploration were calculated for several anatomical structures. Vesical posterior wall has been analysed in about 37 cases, vesico-vaginal structure in about 36 cases, rectal anterior wall and recto-vaginal structure in about 36 cases, parametrium and pelvic sides walls in about 35 cases. Accuracy for clinical examination, endoluminal US, TDM and IRM were respectively: 76, 85, 73, 86%, and respectively 85% by cytoscopy for vesical posterior wall; 72, 88, 65, 78% for vesico-vaginal structure; 92, 97, 83, 64% for rectal anterior wall; 78, 94, 74, 57% for recto-vaginal structure; 84, 89, 69, 73% for vagina; 81, 78, 81, 81% for parametrium; 94%, 93% and 87.5% by TDM and IRM for pelvic side wall. Contribution of endoluminal US is effective for advanced cervical cancer loco-regional staging. Endoluminal US have a good accuracy, are realised under general anesthesia without any discomfort for patients and are little expensive.
