Objective:
To compare the outcomes and the risk of post-operative complications in patients with stage I endometrial carcinoma who were treated with different surgeries.
Methods:
A total of 211 cases with stage I endometrial cancer treated with surgery in our Cancer Center from Jan 1986 to Dec 1997 were analyzed retrospectively. Sixty-one patients (group 1) underwent simple hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy and 150 patients (group 2) underwent radical hysterectomy. The 5-year survival rates and the risk of post-operative complications were compared between two groups.
Results:
Five-year survival rates of the group 1 and 2 were 96.0% and 93.5% (P > 0.05), respectively. The recurrence rates of the two groups were 6.6% and 10.7% (P > 0.05), respectively. The overall rates of post-operative complications in the two groups were 11.5% and 24.7% (P < 0.05), respectively.
Conclusion:
The patients with stage I endometrial carcinoma who were treated with simple hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy did almost as well as those who underwent radical hysterectomy.
