Analysis Of The Clinical Pathology For Ovarian Metastasis In Patients With Endometrial Carcinoma

Objective:To study the clinical and pathological characteristics and the high risk factors for ovarian metastasis in patients with endometrial carcinoma.Methods:The pathological and clinical features and outcomes of endometrial carcinoma patients who diagnosed and took operation in our hospital from June 2001 to January 2006 were restrospectively reviewed and analyzed.Results:Of the 84 cases reviewed, 6 (7.0%) had ovarian metastasis. 14.3% patients which younger than 40 years old had ovarian metastasis. In non-endometrial adenocarcinoma patients, 25.0% had ovarian metastasis. Among the patients which had deep muscle metastasis and cervical metastasis, 18.8% and 21.4% recessive ovarian metastasis, and 27.3% patients which had pelvic lymph nodes metastasis also had ovarian metastasis. Conclusion:For younger than 40 years old patients with endometrial carcinoma who had high risk factors we still should remove surgically the ovaries at the same time.
