What is Analysis of clinicopathologic factors in malignant mixed Müllerian tumors of the uterine corpus about?

The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the clinical and pathologic data of a series of patients presenting to our unit with uterine malignant mixed Müllerian tumors (MMMT) to attempt to identify prognostic factors and relate them to survival. Thirty-seven patients diagnosed with MMMT of the uterus from 1988 through 2000 were identified from the gynecological tumor registry. Data was abstracted and analyzed. The effect of a variety of clinical, histopathologic, and surgical variables on recurrence and survival were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. Patients tended to be postmenopausal, overweight, hypertensive, and presented with abnormal bleeding. Preoperatively 28 (76%) were thought to have clinical stage I-II disease. Nine (32%) were upstaged based on surgical data. Five (56%) of these patients were found to have gross extrauterine disease and four (44%) were found subsequently to have microscopic extrauterine disease. Twenty (54%) patients underwent lymph node dissection and positive nodes were found in seven (35%) patients. Nine patients underwent omentectomy and disease was found in three (33%). Peritoneal washings were positive in three of 16 pat
