Survival in endometrial cancer in relation to minimally invasive surgery or open surgery - a Swedish Gynecologic Cancer Group (SweGCG) study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to analyze overall survival in endometrial cancer patients' FIGO stages I-III in relation to surgical approach; minimally invasive (MIS) or open surgery (laparotomy).

Methods

A population-based retrospective study of 7275 endometrial cancer patients included in the Swedish Quality Registry for Gynecologic Cancer diagnosed from 2010 to 2018. Cox proportional hazard models were used in univariable and multivariable survival analyses.

Results

In univariable analysis open surgery was associated with worse overall survival compared with MIS hazard ratio, HR, 1.39 (95% CI 1.18-1.63) while in the multivariable analysis, surgical approach (MIS vs open surgery) was not associated with overall survival after adjustment for known risk factors
