Identification of risk factors for the prognosis of Chinese patients with endometrial carcinoma

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to retrospectively analyze risk factors for the prognosis of Chinese patients with endometrial carcinoma.Total 600 patients who were admitted to the Department of Gynecology, the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University and were pathologically diagnosed as endometrial carcinoma after surgery from January 1, 1997 to December 31, 2006 were selected, and the related factors affecting their prognosis were analyzed.The survival of 600 patients with endometrial carcinoma was 2 to 136.5 months (average survival 57.39 ± 33.55 months), and 109 cases (18.2%) died from endometrial cancer. The overall survival rate of 1, 3, and 5 years after surgery was 96.8%, 89.9%, and 82.1%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that age, menopausal status, pathological type, histological grade, pathological staging, tumor size, myometrial invasion, cervical involvement, ovarian metastasis, lymph node metastasis, and treatment method were the factors affecting the prognosis of endometrial carcinoma. Multivariate regression analysis showed that pathological type, histological grade, pathological staging, and cervical involvement were independent risk factors for the prognosis of endometrial carcinoma. The patients with high-grade and deep myometrial invasion, cervical involvement, full cavity tumor, and lymph node metastasis had a high incidence of ovarian metastasis.Pathological type, histological grade, pathological staging, and cervical involvement are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of Chinese patients with endometrial carcinoma.
