[Prognostic factors of cancer of the endometrium and therapeutic implications].
Tumor differentiation, myometrial invasion and lymph node metastasis are the most important prognostic factors in endometrial carcinoma. Tumor stage, positive peritoneal cytology, obesity and race seems to be also prognostic factors. The surgical treatment of stage I and II endometrial carcinoma is hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy (obturator group). This procedure can be performed by laparotomy or laparoscopy.
