Prognostic value of three-tiered scoring system for lymph-vascular space invasion in endometrial cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: EC patients with focal and substantial LVSI had poorer survival, recurrence, and a higher incidence of lymph node metastasis than patients without LVSI. The substantial LVSI group was associated with even worse prognosis than the focal LVSI group. The three-tiered LVSI scoring system might effectively predict the prognosis of EC and guide clinical decision-making.PROTOCOL REGISTRATION: CRD 42023451793.PMID:38335803 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.01.046
