What is Decision Factors For Prophylactic Mastectomy And Oophorectomy In High Risk Women For Breast And Ovarian Cancer Susceptibility about?
Objective: To evaluate survival and peri-operative morbidity in patients with Stage III and Stage IV endometrial carcinoma undergoing optimal versus suboptimal cytoreductive surgery. Methods: All patients with FIGO Stage III and Stage IV endometrial carcinoma who underwent surgical therapy at Jackson Memorial Hospital between 01/01/90 -12/31/2001 were identified. Patient data were gathered retrospectively. Survival analysis and comparisons were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, the log-rank test, and Chi-square analysis. Results: Eighty-four patients were identified; 60 patients with Stage III and 24 patients with Stage IV disease. Optimal cytoreduction was accomplished in 83 percent of patients (n 1⁄4 70) while 17 percent (n 1⁄4 14) had suboptimal cytoreduction (greater than 1cm residual tumor). A significant survival advantage was associated with optimal cytoreduction (p 1⁄4 0.039). When stratified by stage, Stage III patients with optimal cytoreduction demonstrated significant survival advantage over Stage III patients with suboptimal cytoreduction (p 1⁄4 0.034). Optimal cytoreduction did not increase major and minor intra-operative or post-operative morbidity. SICU admis
