Outcome of endometrial cancer after lymphadenectomy, a single center retrospective analysis of 829 cases with long-lasting follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS: Lymphadenectomy plays a role in preventing relapses but it is not proved that non-aggressive lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer improves overall survival at p level of 0.05. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that a very small improvement in long lasting survival in few cases of endometrial cancer could be due to node dissections.
