[Surgical approaches for endometrial cancer? ]

The recommendations of the Institut national du cancer and of the Société francaise d'oncologie gynécologique in endometrial carcinoma (2010) reported that laparoscopy is the standard surgical approach for patients with apparent stage FIGO I in preoperative outcomes including MRI (www.e-cancer.fr). For patients with stage FIGO greater than I, laparotomy is the standard surgical approach. In case of lymph nodes or peritoneal restaging, the laparoscopy could be a good option especially by extraperitoneal route in patients with recent first surgery.
