Minimally invasive surgery versus laparotomy in women with high risk endometrial cancer: A multi-center study performed in Argentina

ABSTRACT: Highlights • Disease-free survival was not different when comparing laparoscopic versus open surgery.• Overall survival at 2 years in patients with stage I–II high-risk endometrial cancer was similar.• Overall survival at 4 years in patients with stage I–II high-risk endometrial cancer was similar.

Objective

Compare the perioperative outcomes and disease-free survival between minimally invasive and open surgery in women with stage I–II high-risk endometrial cancer.

Methods

A retrospective, cohort study was performed involving twenty-four centers from Argentina. Patients with grade 3 endometrioid, serous, clear cell, undifferentiated carcinoma or carcinosarcoma who underwent hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and staging between January 2010–2018 were included.
