Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:Several predictive factors for lymph node spread in endometrial cancer have been identified including tumor grade, depth of invasion, lymphatic or vascular-space invasion, and histologic subtype. Lower uterine segment involvement may also be predictive of lymph node spread. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between lower uterine segment involvement in endometrial carcinoma and lymph node spread. METHODS:This was an IRB approved retrospective study. Data were collected for all patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer from June 1999 to December 2004. The primary end point was the presence of nodal involvement. Subset analysis was performed by histologic subtype. Univariate and multivariate nominal logistic regression was performed. Categorical variables were compared using Chi-square and Fischer's Exact Test. RESULTS:Two-hundred and ninety-nine subjects were eligible for review. One-hundred seventy four (58%) had lower uterine segment involvement. Forty-four (25%) of those with lower uterine segment involvement had positive nodes compared to 10 (8%) of those without (p=0.0001). On univariate analysis, lower uterine segment involvement, lymphovascular-space invasion, and deep invasion predicted nodal disease. On multivariate analysis, lower uterine segment remained predictive of nodal spread for the endometrioid subset. For high-risk histologies, only lymphovascular-space invasion and deep myometrial invasion were predictive of nodal spread. CONCLUSIONS:Lower uterine segment involvement in endometrial carcinoma is an important predictor of lymph node involvement for patients with endometrioid histologies. Tumor within the lower uterine segment may be an important factor to consider in intraoperative decision making regarding staging.
