title: Endometrial cancer: our experience.
abstract: The Authors have referred to their experience based on 293 endometrial cancer patients operated at the II University Gynecological Clinic in Catania, between 1975 and 1989. Many prognostic indicators such as stage, histologic grade, myometrial invasion depth, lymph-node metastasis, non-neoplastic endometrium histology, tumor size and histology were studied; the Authors affirm the validity of two risk factors such as tumor size and the histology of the non-neoplastic endometrium, readily observable by hysteroscopy during the preoperative assessment and which are well correlated with the depth of myometrial invasion and lymph node methastasis.
