Abstract:
Aim: To reveal the prognostic significance of serum albumin (ALB) concentration in endometrial cancer (EC) patients in China. Patients & methods: 345 EC patients were enrolled in a single center, and the preoperative serum ALB concentration were measured. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression model were performed to evaluate the associations between ALB concentration and overall survival (OS) of EC patients. Results: The EC patients with lower preoperative serum ALB concentration exhibited a significantly poorer OS (p < 0.05). Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis indicated that serum ALB concentration was an independent prognostic factor of unfavorable OS for EC patients. Conclusion: Our results showing that ALB concentration may serve as an independent prognostic factor for EC patients.
