This study was to investigate whether the choline-containing compounds (Cho) obtained from three-dimension 1H MRS with 3T system is associated with the aggressiveness of endometrial cancer (ECa). Thirty-eight patients with ECa and 19 patients with benign lesions in endometria or in submucosa (BLs-ESm) were included in this study. The ratio of sum of Cho to sum of water (Cho/water) was the statistical unit. The Cho/water can differentiate ECa from BLs-ESm and differentiate type II from type I ECa, but cant differentiate different stages ECa, as well as different grades ECa. Cho/water increased with the increase of tumor stage and size.
