Abstract

Objective. To analyze the effect of histopathologic characteristics and usefullness of therapy mode in FIGO stage I endometrial cancer patients. Methods. Retrospectively were analyzed 219 endometrial cancer patients with hysterectomy, salpingoophorectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy (peritoneal cytology and nodes negative). Patients characteristics include age, myometrial invasion, FIGO substages, histologic type, tumor grade, type of hysterectomy and adjuvant radio¬therapy. The mean age was 59 years (SD 8, Min. 39, Max. 75 years). Follow up ranges from 1 to 180 months (median 68). In 85 patients radical hysterectomies were performed and 45 patients received adjuvant radiotherapy. Results. Five year disease related survival was 92,8%. There is no significant difference among analyzed histopathologic patient’s characteristics related to five years survival. In 82 (37.3%) patients out of 219 were found cumulative negative prognostic factors (high risk patients) including non-endometrioid histology, poor tumor differentiation and/or outer half of miometrial invasion. There is no difference in survival between low (91,2%) and high risk patients (93,9%). Radical hysterectomy as well as adjuvant radiotherapy has no advantage in five year survival. Conclusion. This retrospective study has not identified histopathologic prognostic significant characteristics in FIGO stage I endometrial cancer patients. The use of radical hysterectomy and/or adjuvant radiotherapy has not better five years survival and should be reevaluated.
