Abstract
Objective To explore the prognostic factors of endometrial carcinoma. Methods 166 patients with endometrial carcinoma in Cancer Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from May 1996 to June 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. Prognostic factors were analyzed by univariate analysis. Results The total 5-year survival rate of 166 cases was 86.7 %. The univariate analysis showed that the age, deep myometrial invasion, lymph-node metastasis and operative-pathological staging were significantly associated with the prognosis (P< 0.05). As well as, according to muhivariate Cox proportional-hazard model, 3 independent factors as the age, deep myometrial invasion and lymph-node metastasis were related significantly to overall survival (P< 0.05). Conclusions The 5-year survival rate of endometrial carcinoma is high. The age, deep myometrial invasion and lymph-node metastasis are independent prognostic factors of endometrial carcinoma. Key words: Endometrial neoplasm; Age; Lymphatic metastasis; Prognosis
