ObjectiveThe aim of this article was to investigate the survival impact of ovarian preservation in surgically treated patients with early-stage endometrial cancer using a meta-analysis.MethodsMajor online databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, as well as Grey Literature database, were searched to collect studies on the effects of ovarian preservation compared with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) for surgical treatment in endometrial cancer patients. The literature search was performed up to April 2016. The results were analyzed using RevMan 5.0 software and Stata/SE 12.0 software.ResultsTotally, 7 retrospective cohort studies including 1419 patients in ovarian preservation group and 15,826 patients in BSO group were enrolled. Meta-analysis showed that there was no significant difference in overall survival between the patients treated with ovarian preservation and BSO (hazards ratio [HR], 1.00; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72–1.39; P = 1.00). Similar result was achieved in the young and premenopausal women (HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.70–1.39; P = 0.39). Furthermore, the disease-free survival of patients whose ovaries were preserved was slightly compromised but with no statistical significance (HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 0.56–3.93; P = 0.42).ConclusionsOvarian preservation may be safe in patients with early-stage endometrial cancer, and it could be cautiously considered in treating young and premenopausal women because it is not associated with an adverse impact on the patients’ survival. Given the inherent limitations of the included studies, further well-designed randomized controlled trial are needed to confirm and update this analysis.

Background: Endometrial cancer usually occurs at postmenopause stage of life but its incidence in younger patients is increasing in the last decades. The objective of the study was to evaluate the ovarian preservation in the early stage of endometrial cancer. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 174 patients with endometrial cancer who underwent Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) and Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy in 5 years were included. Results: The results showed that 51.1% of the patients were at stage IA, 28.7% at stage IB, 6.9% at stage II, 11.5% at stage III and 1.7% at stage IV of endometrial cancer when they underwent surgery. One patient (1.12%) at stage IA of endometrial cancer, one patient (2%) at stage IB and one patient (8.3%) at stage II had micrometastasis in ovaries, and 8 patients (40%) at stage III and 2 patients (66.6%) at stage IV had micrometastasis and co-existing tumor. Conclusion: In conclusion, findings revealed the high safety of ovarian preservation in endometrial cancer at earlier stages of the endometrial cancer with low risk of ovarian involvement.

Purpose Oophorectomy is commonly performed in premenopausal women with endometrial cancer who undergo hysterectomy. The benefits of oophorectomy in this setting are unknown, and the procedure subjects women to the long-term sequelae of estrogen deprivation. We examined the safety of ovarian preservation in young women with endometrial cancer who underwent hysterectomy. Patients and Methods Women ≤ 45 years of age with stage I endometrial cancer recorded from 1988 to 2004 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Database were examined. We developed Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier curves to compare women who underwent oophorectomy with those who had ovarian preservation. Results A total of 3,269 women, including 402 patients (12%) who had ovarian preservation, were identified. Younger age (P < .0001), later year of diagnosis (P = .04), residence in the eastern United States (P = .02), and low tumor grade (P < .0001) were associated with ovarian preservation. In a multivariate Cox model, ovarian preservation had no effect on either cancer-specific (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.58; 95% CI, 0.14 to 2.44) or overall (HR = 0.68; 95% CI, 0.34 to 1.35) survival. The findings were unchanged when women who received pelvic radiotherapy were excluded. Conclusion Ovarian preservation in premenopausal women with early-stage endometrial cancer may be safe and not associated with an increase in cancer-related mortality.

BackgroundOvarian preservation treatment (OPT) was recommended in young women with early-stage endometrial cancer [superficial myometrial invasion (MI) and grades (G) 1/2-endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EEC)]. A radiomics nomogram was developed to assist radiologists in assessing the depth of MI and in selecting eligible patients for OPT.MethodsFrom February 2014 to May 2021, 209 G 1/2-EEC patients younger than 45 years (mean 39 ± 4.3 years) were included. Of them, 104 retrospective patients were enrolled in the primary group, and 105 prospective patients were enrolled in the validation group. The radiomics features were extracted based on multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm was applied to reduce the dimensionality of the data and select the radiomics features that correlated with the depth of MI in G 1/2-EEC patients. A radiomics nomogram for evaluating the depth of MI was developed by combing the selected radiomics features with the cancer antigen 125 and tumor size. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the radiomics nomogram and of radiologists without and with the aid of the radiomics nomogram. The net reclassification index (NRI) and total integrated discrimination index (IDI) based on the total included patients to assess the clinical benefit of radiologists with the radiomics nomogram were calculated.ResultsIn the primary group, for evaluating the depth of MI, the AUCs were 0.96 for the radiomics nomogram; 0.80 and 0.86 for radiologists 1 and 2 without the aid of the nomogram, respectively; and 0.98 and 0.98 for radiologists 1 and 2 with the aid of the nomogram, respectively. In the validation group, the AUCs were 0.88 for the radiomics nomogram; 0.82 and 0.83 for radiologists 1 and 2 without the aid of the nomogram, respectively; and 0.94 and 0.94 for radiologists 1 and 2 with the aid of the nomogram, respectively. The yielded NRI and IDI values were 0.29 and 0.43 for radiologist 1 and 0.23 and 0.37 for radiologist 2, respectively.ConclusionsThe radiomics nomogram outperformed radiologists and could help radiologists in assessing the depth of MI and selecting eligible OPTs in G 1/2-EEC patients.
