ObjectiveHigh grade and non-endometrioid endometrial cancers carry a poor prognosis, and the lack of randomized prospective data has led to a wide range of practice regarding adjuvant therapy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of different treatment strategies in patients with high-risk, early-stage endometrial cancer.MethodsPatients with high-grade endometrioid, serous endometrial cancer and carcinosarcoma diagnosed between 2000 and 2012 were identified from databases in three gynecologic oncology divisions, in Toronto and in Israel. Adjuvant treatment practices differed across the centers, creating a heterogeneous cohort. A comparison of stage I patients stratified by adjuvant treatment was undertaken. Log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazards models were employed to compare recurrence and survival across treatment groups.Results490patients with high risk endometrial cancer were identified, among them 213 patients with stage I disease. Israeli patients received more chemotherapy (41% vs 10% in stage I disease; P<0.001) than patients in Toronto. Chemotherapy was not associated with improved disease-free, disease-specific or overall survival, nor was it associated with fewer distant recurrences (50% vs 54%). Radiation was also not associated with improved recurrence or survival, nor did it affect the pattern of recurrence. On Cox multivariable analysis, neither radiation treatment nor chemotherapy were significantly associated with outcome (HR for recurrence, 0.72 for pelvic radiation (P=0.46) and 1.99 for chemotherapy (P=0.09); HR for death, 0.67 for pelvic radiation (P=0.29) and 1.03 for chemotherapy (P=0.94)).ConclusionsIn this retrospective analysis, neither adjuvant radiation nor chemotherapy were associated with improved outcome in stage I, high risk endometrial cancer.

Early Stage Endometrial Cancer

Most patients with endometrial cancer (EMC) present their symptoms early in their course, leading to an overall favorable outcome. However, some patients who are in early-stage diseases may carry some risk features that would hamper their prognoses. For these early-stage diseases with high risk of recurrences, radiation therapy certainly plays a major role as an adjuvant treatment. Despite an excellent local diseases control by radiation, systemic failures are still encountered. To improve the prognoses, other types of adjuvant therapy have been attempted. In this review, various options of adjuvant treatment for this early-stage EMC including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy are discussed.

Abstract Background: It remains controversial whether postoperative adjuvant treatment is beneficial for the survival of patients after surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer. To evaluate whether postoperative adjuvant treatment is beneficial for the survival of patients after surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer. We analyzed the outcomes of patients treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or progestagen combined with other adjuvant treatments. Methods: We retrospectively examined disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) and high risk factors that affected the survival status of all patients who received different postoperative adjuvant therapies. Results: The total relapse and mortality rates were 5.57% and 1.68%, respectively. During follow-up period, fourteen patients (7.29%) developed isolated local recurrence, and 2 patients died (1.04%) of recurrence. The 5-year DFS and OS rates in all patients were 95.83% and 93.75%, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the 5-year DFS, 5-year OS, OS, or DFS among the four groups of patients with FIGO stage I endometrial cancer. The differences in the log-rank test results of the estimates of the 5-year DFS, 5-year OS, DFS and OS of patients with different disease stages and different ages were all significant, but no differences were observed in these parameters between patients with varying degrees of differentiation. Histologic grade, CA125 level, ER and PR status and whether adjuvant therapies had no significant effect on the DFS and OS of all patients according to univariate and multivariate regression analyses, but age stratification did reveal significant differences in DFS and OS in the univariate and multivariate analyses. Conclusion: This retrospective study showed that adjuvant treatments after surgery were not significantly associated with improved DFS or OS in patients with early-stage endometrial cancer. However, FIGO stage and age affected the survival of patients with stage I endometrial cancer.

PURPOSE The primary objective was to determine if vaginal cuff brachytherapy and chemotherapy (VCB/C) increases recurrence-free survival (RFS) compared with pelvic radiation therapy (RT) in high-intermediate and high-risk early-stage endometrial carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A randomized phase III trial was performed in eligible patients with endometrial cancer. Eligible patients had International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (2009) stage I endometrioid histology with Gynecologic Oncology Group protocol 33–based high-intermediate–risk criteria, stage II disease, or stage I to II serous or clear cell tumors. Treatment was randomly assigned between RT (45 to 50.4 Gy over 5 weeks) or VCB followed by intravenous paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 (3 hours) plus carboplatin (area under the curve, 6) every 21 days for three cycles. RESULTS The median age of the 601 patients was 63 years, and 74% had stage I disease. Histologies included endometrioid (71%), serous (15%), and clear cell (5%). With a median follow-up of 53 months, the 60-month RFS was 0.76 (95% CI, 0.70 to 0.81) for RT and 0.76 (95% CI, 0.70 to 0.81) for VCB/C (hazard ratio, 0.92; 90% confidence limit, 0.69 to 1.23). The 60-month overall survival was 0.87 (95% CI, 0.83 to 0.91) for RT and 0.85 (95% CI, 0.81 to 0.90) for VCB/C (hazard ratio, 1.04; 90% confidence limit, 0.71 to 1.52). Vaginal and distant recurrence rates were similar between arms. Pelvic or para-aortic nodal recurrences were more common with VCB/C (9% v 4%). There was no heterogeneity of treatment effect with respect to RFS or overall survival among clinical or pathologic variables evaluated. CONCLUSION Superiority of VCB/C compared with pelvic RT was not demonstrated. Acute toxicity was greater with VCB/C; late toxicity was similar. Pelvic RT alone remains an effective, well-tolerated, and appropriate adjuvant treatment in high-risk early-stage endometrial carcinomas of all histologies.

ObjectiveThe role of lymphadenectomy (LND) in early-stage endometrial cancer (EC) remains controversial. Previous studies have included low-risk patients and nonendometrioid histologies for which LND may not be beneficial, whereas long-term morbidity after LND is unclear. In a large Australian cohort of women with clinical early-stage intermediate-/high-risk endometrioid EC, we analyzed the association of LND with clinicopathological characteristics, adjuvant treatment, survival, patterns of disease recurrence, and morbidity.Materials and MethodsFrom a larger prospective study (Australian National Endometrial Cancer Study), we analyzed data from 328 women with stage IA grade 3 (n = 63), stage IB grade 1 to 3 (n = 160), stage II grade 1 to 3 (n = 71), and stage IIIC1/2 grade 1 to 3 (n = 31/3) endometrioid EC. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. The association of LND with OS was assessed using Cox regression analysis adjusted for age, stage, grade, and adjuvant treatment. The association with risk of recurrent disease was analyzed using logistic regression adjusted for age, stage, and grade. Morbidity data were analyzed using χ2 tests.ResultsMedian follow-up was 45.8 months. Overall survival at 3 years was 93%. Lymphadenectomy was performed in 217 women (66%), 16% of this group having positive nodes. Median node count was 12. There were no significant differences in OS between LND and no LND groups, or by number of nodes removed. After excluding stage IB grade 1/2 tumors, there was no association between LND and OS among a “high-risk” group of 190 women with a positive node rate of 24%. However, a similar cohort (n = 71) of serous EC in the Australian National Endometrial Cancer Study had improved survival after LND. Women who underwent LND had significantly higher rates of critical events (5% vs 0%, P = 0.02) and lymphoedema (23% vs 4%, P < 0.0001).ConclusionsIn this cohort with early-stage intermediate-/high-risk endometrioid EC, LND did not improve survival but was associated with significantly increased morbidity.
