Abstract
Objective: To compare survival measures of women with Stage I high-grade endometrial cancer who underwent either hysteroscopy or a non-hysteroscopic procedure as a diagnostic procedure.
Study Design: 298 patients with stage I high grade endometrial cancer who underwent surgery between 2002 and 2014. Patients were divided into two groups: hysteroscopy and non-hysteroscopy (curettage or office endometrial biopsy). Clinical, pathological, and survival measures were compared between the groups. High grade histology included endometroid grade -3, uterine serous papillary carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, and carcinosarcoma.
Results: There were 71 patients in the hysteroscopy group and 227 patients in the non-hysteroscopy group. The median follow-up was 52 months (range 12-120 months). There were no differences between the groups in the 5-year recurrence-free survival (73.9 % vs. 79.7 %; p = 0.65), disease-specific survival (79.3 % vs. 83.6 %; p = 0.87), and overall survival (65.7 % vs. 80.3 %; p = 0.35).
Conclusion: Hysteroscopic diagnosis in women with early-stage and high-grade endometrial cancer does not adversely affect the survival outcomes.
