Article Synopsis
- The study examined how first-degree family history of cancer affects patients with stage I endometrial cancer by reviewing patient records from 1990 to 2016.
- It compared demographic information, tumor characteristics, treatment plans, and outcomes between patients with and without a family history of cancer, finding that familial history is linked to being older and having longer time to recurrence.
- The results indicated that while patients with a positive family history tended to have similar tumor characteristics, they experienced a longer time to recurrence, especially with maternal and sister's cancer history being the most prevalent.
Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the recurrence risk based on the number of prognostic factors for patients with stage I uterine endometrioid carcinoma (EC) who underwent surgical lymph node evaluation (SLNE) and were managed with observation.
Methods: We queried our database for women with FIGO-2009 stage I EC who underwent surgical staging including SLNE. Multivariate analysis with stepwise model selection was used to determine independent risk factors for 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS).
