ABSTRACT

Factors affecting survival in endometrial cancer patients were aimed to be investigated.

Survival, age, histopathologic diagnosis, stage, grade and lymphovascular space involvement of 172 endometrial cancer patients operated in Zeynep Kamil Hospital between 2001-2010 years were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were staged according to 1988 FIGO criteria. The effect of prognostic factors on 5 years survival rate and overall survival was evaluated.

Five years survival of 52 patients whom were operated at least 5 years ago was 76.9%. There were significant effect of histological type, LVI and LN metastasis on five years survival rate. Furthermore; surgical staging, histological type, grade, LVI, LN metastasis and degree of myometrial invasion were found to be significant factors effected overall survival.
