Comprehensive surgical staging for endometrial cancer.

چکیده
Despite a shift from clinical to surgical staging of endometrial cancer in 1988, performance of comprehensive surgical staging for clinically early-stage endometrial cancer remains controversial. Low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups have been defined pathologically. Herein, we describe the risks and benefits of comprehensive surgical staging. Comprehensive surgical staging is encouraged in high-risk histologies, whereas a method of triage should be used to determine who among the low-grade endometrioid histology may benefit from comprehensive staging.
