Patterns and utility of routine surveillance in high grade endometrial cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate surveillance methods and their utility in detecting recurrence of disease in a high grade endometrial cancer population.

Methods

We performed a multi-institutional retrospective chart review of women diagnosed with high grade endometrial cancer between the years 2000 and 2011. Surveillance data was abstracted and analyzed. Surveillance method leading to detection of recurrence was identified and compared by stage of disease and site of recurrence.

Results

Two hundred and fifty-four patients met the criteria for inclusion. Vaginal cytology was performed in the majority of early stage patients, but was utilized less in advanced stage patients. CA-125 and CT imaging were used more frequently in advanced stage patients compared to early stage. Thirty
