Prediction Of High-Risk Factors For Ovarian Metastasis In Patients With
Endometrial Cancer: A large sample retrospective case-control study
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to determine the high risk factors of
ovarian metastasis of EC, to enable accurate evaluation of whether young
EC patients can retain ovaries.Design:A large sample retrospective
case-control study.Setting and population:All EC patients were treated
and registered in the Liaoning Cancer Hospital between January 2006 and
December 2017;aged 25-80 years.Methods: The study cohort was divided
into two groups: EC patients with ovarian metastasis and without ovarian
metastasis.To analyze ovarian metastasis on prognosis after propensity
score matching (PSM) based on the stratified analysis of independent
risk factors for ovarian metastasis.Main outcome measure:overall
survival (OS) and progress free survival(PFS).Results: A total of 1240
patients diagnosed with EC were eligible for analysis, of which 120
(9.7%) had ovarian metastasis. The EC patients with ovarian metastasis
were more likely to have deep myometrial infiltration, lymph node
metastasis and elevated CA125.Median follow-up time was 52 months
(13-131 months); the median survival was 39 months in patients with
ovarian metastasis and 111 months in those without ovarian metastasis
(p<0.001).Compared with EC patients without ovarian metastasis, the
risk for death increased by 14.37 times in those with ovarian
metastasis.According to the stratified analysis,PFS and OS of EC
patients with ovarian metastasis in the low-risk group,and PFS of
patients in the high-risk group were significantly shorter than those
without ovarian metastasis
(p<0.0001,p=0.0034;p<0.0001).Conclusion: Deep myometrial invasion,
lymph node metastasis and elevated CA125 were independent risk factors
for ovarian metastasis of EC patients. Ovarian metastasis is an
independent predictor of poor survival among EC patients.
