The upper two-thirds of the uterus above the level of the internal cervical os is called the corpus. The Fallopian tubes enter at the upper lateral corners of a pear-shaped body. The portion of the muscular organ that is above a line joining the tubouterine orifices is often referred to as the fundus. Nodal stationsThe major lymphatic trunks are the utero-ovarian (infundibulo-pelvic), parametrial and presacral, which drain into the hypogastric, external iliac, common iliac, presacral and para-aortic nodes. Metastatic sitesThe vagina and lungs are the common metastatic sites. °Either G1, G2 or G3. See section on Rules for classification.

The risk of ovarian cancer among carriers of a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation decreases with each birth but not with increased duration of use of oral contraceptives. These data suggest that it is premature to use oral contraceptives for the chemoprevention of ovarian cancer in carriers of such mutations.
