Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of complete surgical-pathologic staging in clinical Stage I endometrial adenocarcinomas.

Methods: 58 consecutive women with clinical Stage I endometrial adenocarcinomas were investigated.

Results: Isolated paraaortic lymph node invasion was found in one patient without pelvic node invasion (5%).

Conclusions: We recommend a complete lymphadenectomy instead of selective lymphadenectomy. With this practice the real stages of the cases can be determined and over treatment can be avoided.
