ABSTRACT:

Study design

Retrospective cohort study.

Introduction

Debates remain regarding the role of lymphadenectomy in patients with apparent stage IA endometrial cancer, especially subtypes with a favorable prognosis. This study aimed to explore the prognostic value of staging surgeries in apparent stage IA endometrial endometrioid cancer patients in a retrospective cohort study.

Methods

Cases from June 1, 2010 to June 1, 2017 were reviewed in patients with pathologically confirmed endometrial endometrioid carcinoma limited to <1/2 of the myometrium, without extrauterine metastasis on preoperative evaluation and during surgical inspection. Survival outcomes were compared between patients with and without lymphadenectomy and between patients with and without metastasis to lymp
