myometrium

Tumor has spread to one-half or more of the myometrium.

These appear to involve only the sub-endometrial layer of the myometrium.

With progression of the disease, the myometrium is infiltrated.

The uterus mostly consists of smooth muscle, known as "myometrium."

Stage IC: invasion to greater than 50% of the myometrium.

Ultrasound also can help show whether cancer has grown into the uterine muscle (myometrium).

The second layer is called the myometrium.

These cells may invade the whole endometrium and the proximal third of the myometrium.

After delivery the myometrium contracts to expel the placenta and reduce blood loss.

Trophoblastic cells infiltrate the myometrium, and there is vascular invasion.

The tumor is aggressive and spreads quickly into the myometrium and the lymphatic system.

Stage IC: Cancer has spread into the outer half of the myometrium.

It has been suggested that this short life span allows for more finely regulated physiological processes to take place, such as in the myometrium.

The term "endomyometritis" is sometimes used to specify inflammation of the endometrium and the myometrium.

It enhances growth of the myometrium.

Fibroids can be cleanly excised from the myometrium, he said, with no damage to the uterine wall.

The myometrium contracts during the birth process and forces the fetus out of the uterus into the birth canal.

However, because the endometrial glands can be trapped in the myometrium, it is possible to have increased pain without increased blood.

Neoplasms of the myometrium are very common, termed uterine leiomyomata or fibroids.

Gene expression of estrogen receptors in leiomyomas is stronger than that in the myometrium.

In very rare cases, malignant (cancerous) growths, leiomyosarcoma, of the myometrium can develop.

The myometrium becomes weakened and may rupture due to the increase in intrauterine pressure associated with uterine contractions.

Adenomyosis is the growth of the endometrium into the muscle layer of the uterus (the myometrium).

The innermost layer of myometrium is known as the junctional zone, which becomes thickened in adenomyosis.

Surrounded by uterine muscle (myometrium) it can expand significantly when it hosts a pregnancy.
