Early oncological outcomes and accuracy of risk stratification and tailoring surgical staging based on preoperative histology, Ca125 and MRI in endometrial cancer: a prospective cohort study (original) (raw)

Background: momentum to select patients who will benefit from the extensive procedures. However, the parameters used for risk stratification have variable accuracy outside of tertiary cancer centres. This study looks into the accuracy of risk stratification using preoperative histology, MRI and Ca 125 levels and the oncological outcomes after tailoring surgical staging based on the risk stratification by combining the three variables in a suburban centre with a growing cancer population.Methods: This prospective observational cohort study was undertaken in a suburban cancer center in Pushpagiri Medical College, Tiruvalla, Kerala between June 2014 and December 2018. All patients underwent surgical staging with hysterectomy and salpingo oophorectomy as the least procedure. Lymphadenectomy was tailored according to the preoperative risk grouping and changed only in the presence of gross findings at surgery. Adjuvant treatment and follow up data obtained and collected in Microsoft Excel...
