Abstract:
The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) updated the staging system for carcinoma of the vulva, cervix, and endometrium in 2009. A new staging system for uterine sarcoma has been designed. This review summarizes the changes. There were minor changes in carcinoma of endometrium and cervix. The staging systems for uterine sarcomas were newly developed. Major changes were made for the carcinoma of vulva. There were no changes for cancer of the ovary, tube, vagina, and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
