  • Title: [Prognostic factors uterine corpus cancer].
    Author: Inoue M.
    Journal: Gan To Kagaku Ryoho; 2006 Dec; 33(13):2008-13. PubMed ID: 17197744.
    Abstract:
    The accumulated clinico-pathological dates and recent molecular biological studies have identified several prognostic factors for endometrial cancers. FIGO staging has taken into consideration of the tumor expansion and is the most important predictor in evaluating patient outcome. Characteristics of tumor biology, such as morphology of tumor and depth of invasion are also important prognostic considerations. Molecular markers indicating genetic/molecular events in cancer biology appear to be the 3rd predictors in estimating the prognosis. Finally, treatment of uterine corpus cancer can be directly related to prognosis. Postoperative chemotherapy is gradually taking precedence over irradiation in considering evidence-based medicine.
