Unlabelled:
Total abdominal hysterectomy(TAH) and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) have been the hallmarks of therapy for endometrial cancer. However, in the last years the significance of surgical staging is increasing; pelvic lymph node dissection is an important part of surgical staging.
Material And Method:
We have studied a cohort of 76 patients with endometrial cancer who underwent surgery in the 4th Gynecology Clinic of "Cuza Vodă" Hospital, Iaşi, between 1997-2008. Our purpose was to determinate the risk factors for lymph node invasion and the value of pelvic lymphadenectomy regarding both prognosis and therapeutic significance.
Results:
From the 76 cases, 39 underwent selective pelvine lymphadenectomy (51.31%). 48.86% of cases are in the first stage of neoplasia. Invazia cervicală este mai des intâlnită in cazul tumorilor slab diferenţiate, voluminoase, cu invazie miometrială profunda. 9.21% of cases had endocervical glands invasion and 18.42% presented glandular and stromal invasion.
Conclusion:
Lymphadenectomy is beneficial for prognosis and in some cases for therapy.
