AI Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how removing lymph nodes affects survival in patients with a low risk type of uterus cancer.
- It included 257 patients over several years, some had lymph nodes removed and some did not.
- The results showed it didn't make a difference in their chances of being cancer-free or living longer, so just doing a surgery to remove the uterus was enough for low-risk cases.
Article Abstract
Objectives: Evaluation of the effect of lymphadenectomy in disease-free and overall survival on the low risk corpus cancer.
Material And Methods: Between 1994 and 2012, a total of 257 patients with endometrioid type, grade 1 or 2, myometrial invasion < 1/2, no intraoperative evidence of macroscopic extrauterine spread was treated surgically. Pelvic lymphadenec-tomy was performed in 184 cases, and not performed in 73 cases.
Results: There was no difference between two groups about tumor sizes. Also lymphovascular space invasion and histo-logic grade of two groups were similar. Omission of LA did not worsen DFS and OS in early stage low risk corpus cancer.
Conclusions: Patients who have low risk corpus cancer, can be treated optimally with hysterectomy only.
