A detailed analysis of lymph node recurrence in endometrial carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The lymph node (LN) is one of the main sites of recurrence in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC). Literature specifically analyzing LN recurrence (LNR) in EC remains limited in number.

Methods

Patients with EC undergoing surgery between 2006 and 2021 in Peking University People's Hospital was included, clinicopathological data of whom were collected and analyzed retrospectively by R 4.0.3.

Results

A total of 792 patients were included, with 73 patients having recurrence, among whom 21 patients had LNR. Median recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with LNR was 16 [4-39] months. LNR was extensive, with pelvic LNs most commonly involved (9/21). There are various patterns of LNR, with 33.3% (7/21) LN-only recurrence. Multivariable analysis suggested
