Weight Change Pattern and Survival Outcome of Women with Endometrial Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to determine the association between weight change patterns and survival outcomes of women with endometrial cancer.

Methods

This retrospective study examined surgically-staged endometrial cancer cases with available weight information between 1999 and 2013 (n = 665). Proportional body mass index (delta-BMI) change at 6 months, 1 and 2 years after hysterectomy was compared with baseline BMI and correlated to patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment type, and disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).

Results

Mean BMI was 35.6, and 69 % of cases were obese. At 6 months, 1 and 2 years after surgery, 39.1, 51.6, and 57.0 % of the study population, respectively, gained weight compared with pre-treatment baseline
