The number of patients with uterine endometrial cancer has increased in recent years in Japan. The studies on the prognostic factors of endometrial cancer, however, have not been made in detail as compared with those on the prognostic factors of cervical cancers. We have therefore investigated retrospectively the prognoses of 94 cases with endometrial cancer treated in our clinic from 1973 to 1984. Out of 31 cases (32.9%) with recurrence, 13 cases were at the Stage I and II, and the recurrence ratios were 11.4% for Stage Ia, 18.2% for Stage Ib and 31.3% for Stage II. The prognosis of endometrial carcinoma appears to depend on the endocervical involvement of the cancer. Five prognostic factors for Stage I and II endometrial cancers analyzed here are as follows; (1) histologic differentiation (grade), (2) size (diameter) of the primary tumor, (3) myometrial invasion, (4) vascular invasion, (5) lymphnode metastasis. (1) The recurrence ratio was 15.0% in the well differentiated (Grade 1) group, 25.0% in the moderately differentiated (Grade 2) group, 27.3% in the poorly differentiated (Grade 3) group, and 12.5% in adenoacanthoma. (2) The ratio of recurrence was 2.9% with less than 3 cm diameter, 24% with 3-6 cm diameter, and 30% with greater than 6 cm diameter in tumor size. (3) The ratio of recurrence was 2.9% with less than 1/3, 24% with 1/3-2/3, and 30% with greater than 2/3 myometrial invasion. (4) The ratio of recurrence was 43.8% with vascular invasion, and 5.6% without it. (5) The ratio of recurrence was 75% with lymphnode metastasis, and 8.8% without it.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
