ObjectiveLymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) has been defined as a significant adverse prognostic factor in early-stage endometrial cancer, primarily because of its high association with nodal metastases. This study aimed to determine if LVSI provides any prognostic significance in pathologic node-negative surgically staged (T1N0) endometrial cancer patients.Methods/MaterialsThis retrospective cohort study included all patients with pathologic stage T1N0 endometrial carcinoma treated at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre from 1998 to 2007. Patient demographics, pathologic findings, treatment, and outcome data were collected. Univariate and multivariate cox regression modeling was used to assess significance and adjust for demographic and histopathologic covariates. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate the 5-year overall and recurrence-free survival.ResultsOur study included 400 pathologic stage T1N0 patients who received an initial total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with lymphadenectomy. The median age at diagnosis was 62 years, and the median follow-up was 66 months. Fifty-four patients (13.5%) had a positive LVSI status, and 346 (86.5%) had a negative LVSI status. The 5-year overall survival was 97.3% in patients without LVSI and 90.9% in those with LVSI (P < 0.001). The 5-year recurrence-free survival was 95.2% in patients without LVSI and 85.9% in those with LVSI (P = 0.006). Univariate analysis identified grade, stage, and LVSI as the covariates significantly associated with time to recurrence, and identified age, grade, stage, and LVSI to be significantly associated with overall survival. There were no significant covariates for recurrence-free survival by multivariate analysis, and only age and LVSI were significant for overall survival.ConclusionsLymphovascular space invasion is an overall poor prognostic factor in T1N0 endometrial cancer. After adjusting for other factors, LVSI remains an independent risk factor for worse overall survival. Therefore, estimation of overall survival in patients with early-stage, node-negative endometrial cancer should take into account LVSI status.

ObjectiveThis prospective randomized trial aimed to assess the impact of the uterine manipulator in terms of lymph vascular space invasion (LVSI) in patients undergoing minimally invasive staging for early-stage endometrial cancer.MethodsIn this multicentric randomized trial, enrolled patients were randomly allocated in two groups according to the no use (arm A) or the use (arm B) of the uterine manipulator. Inclusion criteria were G1-G2 early-stage endometrial cancer at preoperative evaluation. The variables collected included baseline demographic characteristics, perioperative data, final pathology report, adjuvant treatment, and follow-up.ResultsIn the study, 154 patients (76 in arm A and 78 in arm B) were finally included. No significant differences were recorded regarding the baseline characteristics. A statistically significant difference was found in operative time for the laparoscopic staging (p=0.005), while no differences were reported for the robotic procedures (p=0.419). The estimated blood loss was significantly lower in arm A (p=0.030). No statistically significant differences were recorded between the two study groups in terms of peritoneal cytology, LVSI (p=0.501), and pattern of LVSI (p=0.790). No differences were detected in terms of overall survival and disease-free survival (p=0.996 and p=0.480, respectively). Similarly, no differences were recorded in the number of recurrences, 6 (7.9%) in arm A and 4 (5.2%) in arm B (p=0.486). The use of the uterine manipulator had no impact on DFS both at univariable and multivariable analyses.ConclusionsThe intrauterine manipulator does not affect the LVSI in early-stage endometrial cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic/robotic staging.Clinical Trial Registrationhttps://clinicaltrials.gov, identifier (NCT: 02762214)
