title: [Prognostic factors of endometrial carcinoma: a study of 98 cases].
abstract: Ninety-eight cases of endometrial carcinoma treated in our hospital during 1965-1988 were reviewed. The 5-year survival rate was 64.3%. Many factors were found to be related to 5-year survival: clinical stage, histological type, histological grade, depth of myometrial invasion and the amount of lymphocytic infiltration around islands of tumour cells. Earlier clinical stage, higher histological grade and less myometrial invasion had more favorable prognosis. Adenocarcinoma and adenoacanthoma had more favorable prognosis when compared with adenosquamous carcinoma and papillary adenocarcinoma. The more the amount of lymphocytic infiltration, the better prognosis. No correlation was found between the 5-year survival rate and the uterine size, the therapeutic modality, the age, parity, menstrual state of patient.
