Abstract
Surgical staging remains the standard primary treatment of endometrial cancer. Lymph node metastasis is the most important prognostic factor which helps in deciding adjuvant treatment. Extensive lymphadenectomy is associated with increased incidence of morbidity. The role of lymphadenectomy in surgical staging is still controversial especially in early stage disease. The surgico-pathological pattern of 155 patients with apparently stage 1 cancer endometrium who had undergone pelvic alone or pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection and its correlation to the grade of the tumour, myometrial infiltration and presence of peritoneal disease and incidence of peri-operative morbidity are analysed and described.
