Response of the Uterus Commission of AGO to the Comment of M. Kolben, C. Dannecker and R. Kürzl

We would like to thank our colleagues and the Munich Tumor Center for their comments. It is in the nature of things that statements such as those published in our update of the recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of endometrial cancer are usually presented in an abridged form which cannot reflect all the nuances and the analysis. The basis for the carefully compiled statements will be explained in detail in the background texts of the upcoming S3 guideline for which funding has just been approved.
