Ovarian metastasis risk factors in endometrial carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: About 4.95% of EC patients develop ovarian metastasis. Age >45, myometrial invasion >1/2, cervical invasion, PLNI, pathological type, G3 pathological grade, and LVSI were the high-risk factors for ovarian metastasis of EC. Ovarian preservation should be carefully selected for patients with EC, and preoperative and intraoperative evaluations should be entirely performed.PMID:34837854 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2021.11.016
