    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Endometrial cancer treatment often involves radiotherapy.
    • Assessing treatment response and detecting recurrence is crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Second-look curettage is a potential tool for post-treatment surveillance.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the utility of second-look curettage in patients treated for endometrial cancer.
    • To determine the rate of residual or recurrent endometrial carcinoma after radiotherapy.
    • To discuss the indications and feasibility of this surveillance method.

    Summary:

    • A study involving 31 patients undergoing second-look curettage 3-12 months post-radiotherapy for endometrial cancer.
    • Microscopic examination revealed persistent endometrial carcinoma in 5 cases and atypical tissue in 1 case.

  • Curettage was not feasible in 2 patients, and the indications for the procedure were analyzed.

    • Impact:

    • Findings highlight the role of second-look curettage in identifying residual endometrial cancer post-radiotherapy.
    • This can inform clinical decision-making regarding further treatment or surveillance strategies.
    • The study contributes to understanding the effectiveness of post-treatment monitoring in endometrial cancer.
