AlgorithmsDecision-Making 2 Adjuvant therapy: ch/Rt / RT /Ch Thomas & Aalders 2007
AlgorithmsDecision-Making STAGE ALL Failing to stage even low risk pts,may miss significant numbers of pts with extra uterine disease, particularly since pre surgical G &Inv is realtive inaccurate. Outcome data do not support this assumption ONLY 4% of 922 pts low risk disease and no surgical staging or adjuvant therapy subsequently recurred. Thomas & Aalders 2007
AlgorithmsDecision-Making From these data, one can estimate that the number in whom nodal/extra uterine disease was present is about 5%. The patters of failure predict that 3/5 will recur in the pelvis alone and 2/3 will be salvaged with RT at the time of relapse Thus in low risk negligible gains come from attending accurately know the nodal status by staging Incidence of N+ is low, morbidity rate for surgical staging is 6-7%, recurences are pelvic, and salvage therapy is significant Thomas & Aalders 2007

Para Aorticnodesinvolvement • Overallrisk: stage 1 4%-6% • Grosspelvicnodes: 55% • Grossadnexaldisease: 43% 98% • Outer-thirdinvasion: 18% • Pelvicnodes+: 47% • Othersites & PA node 50% (50% nodeonly) With unsophisticated techniques (45-50Gy), approx 40% may achieve long term DFS (range 35-75%). Thus 1-2/100 pts are cured by virtue of surgical detection and treating involved PA. Thomas & Aalders 2007

Para-aortic lymphadenectomy has survival benefits for patients at intermediate or high risk of recurrence. • Pelvic lymphadenectomy alone might be an insufficient surgical procedure in patients at risk of lymph node metastasis

40% members responded. • 40% prefer laparotomy, • 31% perform robotic surgery, • 29% use laparoscopy. • 53% never/rarely use frozen section to determine whether or not to perform lymphadenectomy. • A majority perform staging on all grade 2 and grade 3 cancers (66% and 90%, respectively). • When performing paraaortic lymphadenectomy, 50% use the IMA as the upper border and 11% take the dissection to the renal vessels. Conclusions Current controversies in surgical staging for endometrial cancer are reflected in the practice patterns among gynecologic oncologists. At this point it is unclear if standardizing surgical practice patterns will improve outcomes for patients with endometrial cancer.
In low risk patients no evidence of benefits perfoming systematic lymphadenectomy In high risk patients strong evidence against performing systematic lymphadenectomy except of one retrospective study Open question evaluation of nodal status (FIGO stage) Conclusions
