The Futility of Systematic Lymphadenectomy in Early-Stage Low-grade Endometrial Cancer.

Lymphadenectomy is considered an integral part of comprehensive surgical staging of endometrial cancer but debate on the value of lymphadenectomy continues in early-stage endometrial cancer. The aim of our study was to determine the number of node positive patients in clinically early-stage low-grade (G1-G2) endometrioid endometrial cancer. We retro-prospectively analyzed the medical records of 155 women with endometrial pathology coming to the BLK cancer center between January 2015 and December 2017 and studied 60 patients of FIGO grade 1-2 endometrioid endometrial cancer confined to the uterus to determine the nodal positivity.

Management of Borderline Ovarian Tumors-Still a Gray Zone.

Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are a heterogeneous group of non-invasive epithelial ovarian tumors that occur at a younger age, present in early stage, frequently associated with infertility but are easily curable. Although they may have symptomatic long-term recurrences, they have an excellent prognosis in spite of peritoneal spread. Among the epithelial tumors of the ovary, BOTs fall in the spectrum lying between cystadenomas (benign) and cystadenocarcinomas (malignant).
