MethodsA total of 795 patients with EEC who underwent comprehensive surgical staging including pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection between January 2007 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Data including age, menopausal status, serum CA-125 levels, tumor size, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), depth of myometrial invasion, positive peritoneal cytology, cervical stromal involvement, histologic grade, recurrence, and follow-up duration were recorded. ResultsMedian follow up was 49 months. Cervical stromal invasion was found in 88 patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that presence of LVSI (hazard ratio [HR] 2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-4.25, P = 0.045), a primary tumor diameter of at least 3 cm (HR 3, 95% CI 1.31-7.25, P = 0.010), and at least 50% deep myometrial invasion (HR 2.7, 95% CI 1.37-5.41, P = 0.004) were independent risk factors for cervical stromal involvement in patients with EEC. ConclusionOur study results suggest that presence of LVSI, a primary tumor diameter of at least 3 cm, and LVSI of at least 50% seem to be independent predictors of cervical involvement in women with EEC. Tumor diameter of >= 3 cm, and lymphovascular space invasion >= 50% seem to be independent predictors of cervical involvement in patients with endometrioid-type endometrial cancer.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscervical stromal involvementendometrioid-type endometrial cancerlymphovascular space invasionArticle153151553311816510.1002/ijgo.134492-s2.0-85099091497Q1WOS:000604897900001Q1
