Abstract
OBJECTIVE This retrospective, multicenter, observational study aimed to refine patient selection criteria for secondary cytoreductive surgery in recurrent endometrial cancer. The objective was to identify preoperative predictors of complete cytoreduction, assess surgical complexity, and propose a preoperative predictive scoring system to identify suitable candidates for secondary cytoreductive surgery. METHODS Data from 331 women with recurrent endometrial cancer were analyzed across three Italian centers from January 2010 to December 2021. Patients were categorized based on treatment received (medical treatment, diagnostic laparoscopy/examination under anesthesia, or secondary cytoreductive surgery). Preoperative predictors, surgical complexity, complications, and a predictive scoring system were assessed. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic analysis were used for statistical evaluation. RESULTS Of the cohort, 56.2% underwent debulking surgery, 17.2% had diagnostic laparoscopy, and 26.6% received medical treatment. Patients undergoing secondary cytoreductive surgery were younger, with a lower body mass index, better performance status, and fewer comorbidities. Single site locoregional relapse was common in secondary cytoreductive surgery patients. Age <65 years, single site relapse, lymph node, and hematogenous relapse were independent predictors of complete cytoreduction. A predictive scoring system demonstrated a clear relationship between the score and the likelihood of complete cytoreduction. CONCLUSION This study identified age <65 years, single site recurrence, as well as nodal and hematogenous recurrence, as predictive factors for achieving optimal cytoreduction. A predictive scoring system incorporating these factors has been proposed to identify optimal candidates for secondary cytoreductive surgery in recurrent endometrial cancer. The scoring system showed promising predictive accuracy and could aid in refining the decision making process, ensuring appropriate patient selection for secondary cytoreductive surgery. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate and enhance the predictive model.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EC) poses a significant health issue among women, and its incidence has been rising for a couple of decades. Surgery remains its principal treatment method and may have a curative, staging, or palliative aim. The type and extent of surgery depends on many factors, and the risks and benefits should be carefully weighed. While simple hysterectomy might be sufficient in early stage EC, modified-radical hysterectomy is sometimes indicated. In advanced disease, the evidence suggests that, similarly to ovarian cancer, optimal cytoreduction improves survival rate. The role of lymphadenectomy in EC patients has long been a controversial issue. The rationale for systematic lymphadenectomy and the procedure of the sentinel lymph node biopsy are thoroughly discussed. Finally, the impact of the molecular classification and new International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system on EC treatment is outlined. Due to the increasing knowledge on the pathology and molecular features of EC, as well as the new advances in the adjuvant therapies, the surgical management of EC has become more complex. In the modern approach, it is essential to adjust the extent of the surgery to a specific patient, ensuring an optimal, made-to-measure personalized surgery. This narrative review focuses on the intricacies of surgical management of EC and aims at summarizing the available literature on the subject, providing an up-to-date clinical guide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometrial cancer recurrence occurs in about 18 % of patients. This study aims to analyze the pattern recurrence of endometrial cancer and the relationship between the initial site of primary disease and the relapse site in patients undergoing surgical treatment. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all surgically treated patients with endometrial cancer selecting those with recurrence. We defined primary site disease as uterus, lymph nodes, or peritoneum according to pathology analysis of the surgical specimen. The site of recurrence was defined as vaginal cuff, lymph nodes, peritoneum, and parenchymatous organs. Our primary endpoint was to correlate the site of initial disease with the site of recurrence. RESULTS The study enrolled 1416 patients. The overall recurrence rate was 17,5 % with 248 relapses included in the study. An increase of 9.9, 5.7, and 5.7 times in the odds of relapse on the lymph node, peritoneum, and abdominal parenchymatous sites respectively was observed in case of nodal initial disease (p < 0.001). A not significant difference in odds was observed in terms of vaginal cuff relapse (OR 0.9) between lymph node ad uterine primary disease (p = 0.78). An increasing OR of 8.7 times for nodal recurrences, 46.6 times for peritoneum, and 23.3 times for parenchymatous abdominal recurrences were found in the case of primary peritoneal disease (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Endometrial cancer tends to recur at the initial site of the disease. Intraoperative inspection of the adjacent sites of primary disease and targeted instrumental examination of the initial sites of disease during follow-up are strongly recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the pattern of first recurrence of disease in patients with endometrial cancer according to molecular classification, and to assess the independent role of molecular profiling in each type of failure. METHODS Retrospective single-center study including patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer stage I-IVB (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009) between December 1994 and May 2022, who underwent primary surgical treatment and had a complete molecular profile. First recurrence was classified as isolated or multiple, and as vaginal, pelvic, peritoneal, nodal, and distant according to its location. The log-rank test and univariate and multivariate adjusted Cox regression models were used for comparison between groups. RESULTS A total of 658 patients were included. Recurrence was observed in 122 patients (18.5%) with a recurrence rate of 12.4% among mismatch-repair deficient tumors, 14.5% among non-specific molecular profile, 2.1% among POLE-mutated, and 53.7% among p53-abnormal tumors. Recurrences were found to be isolated in 80 (65.6%) and multiple in 42 (34.4%) patients, with no differences in molecular subtype (p=0.92). Patients with p53-abnormal tumors had a recurrence mainly as distant (28.4%) and peritoneal (21.1%) disease, while patients with non-specific molecular profile tumors presented predominantly with distant failures (10.3%), and mismatch-repair deficient tumors with locoregional recurrences (9.4%).On multivariate analysis, p53-abnormal molecular profile was the only independent risk factor for peritoneal failure (OR=8.54, 95% CI 2.0 to 36.3). Vaginal recurrence was independently associated with p53-abnormal molecular profile (OR=6.51, 95% CI 1.1 to 37.4) and lymphovascular space invasion. p53-abnormal and non-specific molecular profiles were independent predictors for distant recurrence (OR=3.13, 95% CI 1.1 to 8.7 and OR=2.35, 95% CI 1.1 to 5.0, respectively), along with lymphovascular space invasion and high-grade tumors. Molecular profile was not independently associated with pelvic and nodal recurrences. CONCLUSIONS Endometrial cancer featured different patterns of recurrence depending on the molecular profile. p53-abnormal molecular profiling was the only independent risk factor for peritoneal relapse, while non-specific molecular profile showed a strong association with distant failures.

Prognostic value of lymphovascular space invasion according to the molecular subgroups in endometrial cancer. Int J Gynecol Cancer 2023; 33:1702-1707.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) is a known prognostic factor for oncological outcome in endometrial cancer patients. However, little is known about the prognostic value of LVSI among the different molecular subgroups. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic dependence of LVSI from the molecular signature. METHODS This study included endometrial cancer patients who underwent primary surgical treatment between February 2004 and February 2016 at the Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden and the Bern University Hospital, Switzerland (KImBer cohort). All cases had complete molecular analysis performed on the primary tumor according to the WHO Classification of Tumors, 5th edition. LVSI was reviewed by reference pathologists for all pathology slides. RESULTS A total of 589 endometrial cancer patients were included in this study, consisting of 40 POLEmut (polymerase epsilon ultramutated), 198 MMRd (mismatch repair deficient), 83 p53abn (p53 abnormal), and 268 NSMP (non-specific molecular profile) cases. Altogether, 17% of tumors showed LVSI: 25% of the POLEmut, 19% of the MMRd, 30% of the p53abn, and 10% of the NSMP cases. There was a significant correlation of LVSI with lymph node metastasis in the entire study cohort (p<0.001), remaining significant in the MMRd (p=0.020), p53abn (p<0.001), and NSMP (p<0.001) subgroups. Mean follow-up was 89 months (95% CI 86 to 93). The presence of LVSI significantly decreased recurrence-free survival among patients with MMRd, p53abn, and NSMP endometrial cancer, and overall survival in patients with p53abn and NSMP tumors. In patients with NSMP endometrial cancer, evidence of substantial LVSI remained a significant independent predictor of recurrence in multivariable Cox regression analysis including tumor stage and grade (HR 7.5, 95% CI 2.2 to 25.5, p=o.001). CONCLUSION The presence of LVSI was associated with recurrence in each subgroup of patients with MMRd, p53abn, and NSMP endometrial cancer, and LVSI remained an independent predictor of recurrence in NSMP endometrial cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main objective of the study was to assess the influence of different clinical and therapeutic variables on the oncological outcomes of patients with endometrial cancer relapse. In particular, we evaluated the impact of cytoreductive surgery with the achievement of complete gross resection. METHODS This is a multicenter retrospective cohort study conducted in three centers in Italy and including all patients with first relapse of endometrial cancer from January 2010 to December 2021. RESULTS Data from 331 women with recurrent endometrial cancer were analyzed. Secondary cytoreductive surgery was performed in 56.2% of cases (186 patients). Complete gross resection was achieved in 178 patients (95.7%). Complete gross resection conferred a statistically significant survival benefit both for post-relapse survival and post-relapse free survival (3 years post-relapse survival: 75.4% vs 56.4%, p<0.001; 3 years post-relapse free survival: 32.6% vs 26.5%, p=0.027). At multivariate Cox regression analysis, age ≥75 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status ≥2, the advanced-metastatic risk group, complete gross resection, and multiple site relapses were identified as independent significant predictors for post-relapse survival; regarding post-relapse free survival, only age ≥75, the high and advanced-metastatic risk groups, and complete gross resection confirmed their statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS Secondary cytoreductive surgery with achievement of complete gross resection was confirmed to be an independent positive predictor for survival in patients with recurrent endometrial cancer and should be considered a valid primary treatment in the therapeutic decision-making process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinicopathological features and outcomes in patients with endometrial cancer with isolated lymphatic recurrence after lymphadenectomy, stratified by different isolated lymphatic recurrence sites and treatment approaches. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all surgically treated patients with endometrial cancer, identifying those with recurrence. We defined primary isolated lymphatic recurrence as the first and unique evidence of recurrence in lymph node-bearing areas, without concomitant vaginal, hematogenous, or peritoneal recurrence. Isolated lymphatic recurrences were classified as pelvic, para-aortic, distant, or multiple sites. Our primary outcome was cause-specific survival after diagnosis of the recurrence. RESULTS Among 4216 patients with surgically staged endometrial cancer, we identified 66 (1.6%) women with isolated lymphatic recurrence. The overall median cause-specific survival for patients with isolated lymphatic recurrence was 24 months. Although cause-specific survival was not significantly different between the four isolated lymphatic recurrence groups (p=0.21), 7 of 15 (47%) patients with isolated lymphatic recurrence in the para-aortic area were long-term survivors. At multivariate Cox regression, the absence of lymphovascular space invasion and grade 1 histology in the primary tumor were significantly associated with improved cause-specific survival. In addition, patients with isolated lymphatic recurrence who underwent surgery for recurrence (with/without other associated therapies) had improved cause-specific survival compared with patients who did not undergo surgery, also after adjusting for age. CONCLUSIONS Low-grade histology and absence of lymphovascular space invasion in the primary tumor were predictors of improved prognosis in patients with endometrial cancer with isolated lymphatic recurrence. In addition, in this retrospective cohort, patients with isolated lymphatic recurrence who were selected for eradicative surgical treatment had improved cause-specific survival.

Abstract
Background Bone metastases (BM) are uncommon in endometrial carcinoma (EC), without information on the optimal oncologic management of patients with BM in EC. Here, we systematically review clinical characteristics, treatment approaches and prognosis in patients with BM in EC. Methods We conducted a systematic literature search until 27th March 2022 on PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase and clinicaltrials.gov. Outcomes included treatment frequency and survival after BM with comparators being treatment approaches (local cytoreductive bone surgery, systemic therapy, and local radiotherapy). Risk of bias was assessed using the NIH Quality Assessment Tool and Navigation Guide methodology. Results We retrieved 1096 records of which 112 retrospective studies (12 cohort studies, 12/12 fair quality; 100 case studies, 100/100 low quality) with a total of 1566 patients were included. The majority had a primary diagnosis of FIGO stage IV, grade 3 endometrioid EC. Singular BM were present in a median of 39.2%, multiple BM in 60.8% and synchronous additional distant metastases in 48.1% of patients respectively. In patients with secondary BM median time to bone recurrence was 14 months. Median survival after BM was 12 months. Local cytoreductive bone surgery was assessed in 7/13 cohorts and performed in a median of 15.8% (interquartile range [IQR] 10.3-43.0) of patients. Chemotherapy was assessed in 11/13 cohorts and administered in a median of 55.5% (IQR 41.0-63.9), hormonal therapy (7/13 cohorts) in 24.7% (IQR 16.3-36.0), and osteooncologic therapy (4/13 cohorts) in 2.7% (IQR 0.0-7.5) of patients respectively. Local radiotherapy was assessed in 9/13 cohorts and performed in a median of 66.7% (IQR 55.6-70.0) of patients. Survival benefits were seen in 2/3 cohorts after local cytoreductive bone surgery, and in 2/7 cohorts after chemotherapy without survival benefits in the remaining cohorts and investigated therapies. Limitations include the lack of controlled intervention studies, the heterogeneity and retrospective nature of the investigated populations. Conclusions This systematic review shows heterogenous therapeutic approaches in clinical practice without clear evidence for optimal oncologic management for patients with BM in EC.

Abstract
Background and objectives Endometrial cancer is a common malignancy and recurrences can be fatal. Although platinum-pretreated endometrial tumors are commonly treated with anthracyclines and taxanes, there is no current standard of care. Both immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been extensively assessed in this setting, including tumors selected for DNA mismatch repair (MMR)/microsatellite instability (MSI) and programmed death-ligand 1 expression status. This review will provide evidence-based guidance on use of ICIs alone or in combination with TKIs in patients with pretreated advanced, persistent, or recurrent metastatic endometrial cancer. Data sources and methods Randomized phase II-III trials in unselected populations pretreated, recurrent, or metastatic endometrial cancer and phase I-II trials in biomarker selected populations were identified from PubMed as well as conference proceedings using the key search terms 'immune checkpoint inhibitors', 'endometrial cancer', and 'advanced'. Results A total of nine eligible studies were identified assessing ICI monotherapy for biomarker-selected or ICI plus TKI combinations and a dual ICI regimen for biomarker-unselected patients with pretreated recurrent or metastatic endometrial cancer. In MMR/MSI-selected tumors, five phase I/II studies evaluated ICI monotherapy indicating benefit in these patients. Only the phase III KEYNOTE-775 trial reported a statistically significant overall survival improvement for the combination of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib compared with docetaxel or paclitaxel regardless of MMR/MSI status. Conclusions Pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib is indicated for patients with unselected pretreated metastatic endometrial cancer and pembrolizumab monotherapy is a preferred option for patients with MMRd/MSI-H tumors.

Investigation of Molecular Features Involved in Clinical Responses and Survival in Advanced Endometrial Carcinoma Treated by Hormone Therapy. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12050655. [PMID: 35629078 PMCID: PMC9143816 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12050655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 04/12/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Hormone therapy (HT) is an effective treatment for metastatic endometrial carcinoma (mEC), with limited toxicity and low cost. We focused on molecular analysis of mECs treated by HT and, for the first time to date, we compared the genomic profiles of paired metastasis and primary ECs. The main objective was to identify predictive factors of the response to HT as well as specific altered signaling pathways driving mEC biology. From 1052 patients with EC treated by HT in two French cancer centers, 32 with endometrioid EC and 6 with high grade serous EC were included. We evaluated hormone receptors (HR) and mismatch repair proteins expression by immunohistochemistry and gene alterations by targeted next-generation sequencing and array-based comparative genomic hybridization. Several variables were tested in univariate and multivariate analyses to identify potential associations with (i) the clinical benefit of HT (CBHT) and (ii) a longer response (>18 months) (LRHT) and overall survival (OS). We compared the biological and genomic profiles of 11 primary/metastatic EC pairs. Thirty tumors (78.9%) were HR-positive and 6 (15.8%) showed microsatellite instability (MSI). The genomic profiles of 34 tumors showed an average altered genome of 3.26%, DNA repair homologous recombination deficiency in five tumors (14.7%), and 17 regions significantly targeted by amplification/deletion. Thirty-three tumors had 273 variants (158 genes, median of 7 mutations/sample), including 112 driver mutations. TP53, PTEN, PPP2R1A, ARID1A, FGFR2, and PIK3CA were the most frequently mutated. Based on the genomic status, nine oncogenic pathways were altered in more than 25% of primary EC. Clinically, 22 (57.9%) and 6 (15.8%) patients presented CBHT and LRHT, respectively. Neither oncogenic pathways alterations nor the variables tested were associated with CBHT and LRHT. Only patient’s age, mitotic index and the presence of at least one HR were associated with OS. Paired analysis of the primary/metastatic samples showed that among the 22 mutations acquired in the metastatic counterparts, the most frequently targeted genes were involved in pathways that might confer a selective advantage to cancer metastasis including hormone resistance. In conclusion, only patient’s age, mitotic index and the presence of at least one HR were associated with OS. The identification of gene mutations newly acquired in metastasis might help to better understand the formation of EC metastasis and select the best actionable candidates for HT-treated patients at the metastatic stage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To define the factors that determine survival after extrapelvic recurrence in patients with endometrioid type endometrial cancer (EC).objective MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinicopathological and survival data of surgically treated endometrioid type EC patients who recurred outside pelvis were reviewed. Patients who had non-endometrioid tumor, sarcomatous component in the final pathology and synchronous tumor were excluded. The period from surgery to recurrence was defined as time to recurrence (TTR) and the period from recurrence to death or last visit was defined as post-recurrence survival (PRS). RESULTS Sixty-six patients with extrapelvic recurrence were included in the study. No residual disease was achieved in all patients at initial surgery. Median TTR was 18 months (range, 2-84). Recurrence developed within 1 year in 24 (36.4%) patients and between 13 and 24 months in 22 (33.3%) patients. Fifty-three of 66 patients (80.3%) had extraabdominal recurrence. The 2-year PRS of the all cohort with extrapelvic recurrence was 56%. In the univariate analysis, advanced FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis, adnexal metastasis and short TTR were associated with diminished PRS (p < 0.05). The salvage chemotherapy for recurrence had a tendency to be associated with improved PRS in the univariate analysis. Two-year survival was 81% and 37% in the patients who received chemotherapy and radiotherapy, respectively (p = 0.057). CONCLUSION Almost half of the patients with extrapelvic recurrence died of disease within 2 years. Chemotherapy seemed to be more effective than radiotherapy as the salvage therapy of extrapelvic recurrences.

BMC Cancer 2020; 20:1122. [PMID: 33213407 PMCID: PMC7678066 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-020-07627-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastasis (PM) in patients with breast (BC) and endometrial cancer (EC) is rare and treatment options are limited. Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) has demonstrated efficacy against PM from various cancers, but its efficacy in BC/EC patients is unknown. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of patients with PM from BC/EC undergoing PIPAC with doxorubicin 1.5 mg/m2 and cisplatin 7.5 mg/m2. Data were collected within an international prospective PIPAC registry. Study outcomes were microscopic tumor regression grade (TRG), survival, adverse events (CTCAE), and quality of life (QoL). RESULTS 150 PIPAC procedures in 44 patients (BC/EC = 28/16; mean age 58.8 ± 10.1 and 63.2 ± 10.1 years, respectively) were analyzed. The mean number of PIPACs per patient was 3 (range 0-9) and 3.5 (range 0-10), respectively. Primary/secondary non-access occurred in 4/3 of 150 (5%) procedures. PIPAC induced objective tumor regression as demonstrated by repetitive PM biopsies in 73% (32/44) of patients. Peri- and postoperative CTCAE grade 3 and 4 complications were observed in 12/150 (8%) of procedures. No grade 5 event was observed. After a median follow up of 5.7 (IQR 2.7-13.0) months, overall median survival was 19.6 (95% CI: 7.8-31.5) months (from first PIPAC). QoL indicators (general health, nausea, fatigue, constipation, pain, dyspnea, social, cognitive, emotional, and physical functioning) all improved or were maintained throughout PIPAC treatments. CONCLUSIONS Repetitive intraperitoneal chemotherapy with PIPAC is feasible and safe in patients with PM from BC and EC. PIPAC induces significant histological regression of PM while maintaining QoL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis for patients with endometrial cancer (EC) peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) recurrence has received little study. This study aimed to determine specific risk factors and prognosis of EC with PC recurrence (PCR) versus no PC recurrence (NPCR). METHODS Data of all patients with EC who received primary surgical treatment between January 2000 and February 2017 were abstracted from the French FRANCOGYN Research Group database. Clinical and pathologic variables were compared between the two groups (PCR vs. NPCR). Multivariate analysis was performed to define prognostic factors for peritoneal recurrence. Overall survivals (OS) of patients after recurrence were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS The study analyzed 1466 patients, and 257 of these patients (17.5%) had recurrence. At presentation, 63 of these patients had PC. International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages 3 and 4 disease were significantly associated with PCR versus NPCR (odds ratio 2.24; 95% confidence interval 1.23-4.07; p = 0.008). The death rate for the patients with PC was 47.6%, with a median survival of 12 months after diagnosis of recurrence. According to the histologic subtype, OS was 29 months (Q1-Q3, 13-NA) for endometrioid carcinomas, 7.5 months (Q1-Q3, 4-15) for serous carcinomas, and 10 months (Q1-Q3, 5-15) for clear cell carcinomas. Chemotherapy for treatment of PCR was associated with improved OS after recurrence (OSAR; p = 0.0025). CONCLUSION An initial advanced stage of EC is a risk factor for PCR. For women with PCR, a diagnosis of type 1 EC recurrence more than 12 months after the initial treatment and management of PCR with chemotherapy is associated with improved OSAR. Prospective studies are needed to determine the precise optimal management required in this clinical situation and to assess the relevance of biomarkers to predict the risk of PCR for EC patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recurrence of endometrial cancer is an important clinical challenge, with median survival rarely exceeding 12 months. The aim of this study was to analyze patterns of endometrial cancer recurrence and associations of these patterns with clinical outcome. METHODS The study included patients with endometrial cancer who underwent primary surgical treatment with or without adjuvant treatment between July 2004 and June 2017 at the Gynaecologic Oncology Unit of one of three tertiary hospitals of the Catholic University Network in Italy with complete follow-up data available. Information on the date and pattern of recurrence was retrieved for each relapse. Post-relapse survival was recorded as the time from the date of recurrence to the date of death or last follow-up. Survival probabilities were compared using log rank tests, and associations of clinico-pathological characteristics with post-relapse survival were tested using Cox's regression models. RESULTS A total of 1503 patients were included in the analysis. We identified 210 recurrences (14.0%) and 105 deaths (7.0%) at a median follow-up of 34 months (range 1-162). One hundred and fifty-eight recurrences (78.1%) occurred during the first two years of follow-up. Most recurrences were multifocal (n=121, 57.6%) and involved extrapelvic sites (n=38, 65.7%). Parameters associated with post-relapse survival in the univariate analysis included histotype, grade, time to recurrence, pattern of recurrence, number of relapsing lesions, and secondary radical surgery. Only the pattern of recurrence and secondary radical surgery were independent predictors of post-relapse survival in the multivariate analysis (p=0.025 and p=0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSION Lymph node recurrence and the feasibility of secondary radical surgery were independent predictors of post-relapse survival in patients with recurrent endometrial cancer.

Abstract
Patterns of distant metastatic failure of endometrial cancer (EC) by specific anatomic site are not well described in the literature. In this manuscript, we evaluated the metastatic patterns of EC cancer and analysed the potential distribution of metastatic disease in this malignancy. METHODS A total of 1444 women with EC were identified. Of which we extracted women with locoregional and distant recurrence or with distant recurrence alone. Women were scored based on first site of metastasis: multiple versus one site: bone, brain, lung, liver or sus diaphragmatic lymph nodes. RESULTS 110 women developed distant metastatic disease with (n = 37(33.6%)) or without (n = 73(66.4%)) locoregional recurrence, including 39 women with exclusive first site of metastatic disease and 34 women with multiple sites of metastatic disease. When considering all women, the most common exclusive first site of metastasis was lung (42.8%). The median time to develop distant metastases was shorter after the completion of treatment for exclusive brain metastatic disease compared with other sites of metastatic- disease (7 months vs, 9 for lung, 10 for liver, 19 for bone and 27 months for sus-diaphragmatic LN; P = 0.004). The rate of 3-year overall survival was higher in the sus-diaphragmatic LN metastase group (83.3% vs 50.6% for lung, 37.3% for bone, 16.7% for brain and 0% for liver; P = 0.0059). CONCLUSION The present study has demonstrated the site-specific patterns of metastases. These data support current clinical practice of screening for site-specific metastatic disease after initial treatment of early stage EC based on concerning women-specific signs or symptoms.
