title: Surgical management of endometrial cancer. A critical review.
abstract: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecological  malignancy. Prognosis depends on 3 main factors: histological subtype, depth of invasion into the myometrium and  lymph node involvement. Surgery remains the gold standard of treatment for this  cancer. The aim of this article was to review the surgical approach and the new techniques along with the clarification  of some controversial aspects concerning the management  of advanced disease stages and the role of lymph node dissection. Surgery of EC remains the treatment of choice in the  management of early stage disease. The role of lymph node  dissection remains controversial.
