Abstract
ObjectivesOptimal management of patients with stage IA p53abn endometrial cancer without myoinvasion, classified as intermediate risk in the 2020 European Society of Gynaecological Oncology, European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology, and European Society of Pathology (ESGO-ESTRO-ESP) guidelines, and the 2022 European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) guidelines, is currently unclear. Practice varies from surgery alone to adjuvant radiation±chemotherapy. Our aim was to assess the risk of disease recurrence in patients with stage IA p53abn endometrial cancer without myoinvasion compared with stage IA with myoinvasion (<50%).MethodsStage IA p53abn endometrial cancers were identified from retrospective cohorts. Cases were segregated into stage IA with no myoinvasion, including (1) tumor restricted to a polyp, (2) residual endometrial tumor, and (3) no residual tumor in hysterectomy specimen, versus stage IA p53abn with myoinvasion (<50%), with treatment and outcomes assessed.ResultsThere were 65 stage IA p53abn endometrial cancers with no myoinvasion (22 polyp confined, 38 residual endometrial tumor, 2 no residual in hysterectomy specimen, 3 not specified) and 97 with myoinvasion. There was no difference in survival outcomes in patients with stage IA without myoinvasion (16% of patients recurred, 19% if there was residual endometrial disease) compared with stage IA with myoinvasion (17%). The risk of recurrence was lowest in patients with stage IA p53abn endometrial cancer without myoinvasion treated with chemotherapy±radiation (8%). Most recurrences in patients with stage IA without myoinvasion were distant (89%), with no isolated vaginal vault recurrences, and all except one distant recurrence occurred in patients who had not received adjuvant chemotherapy.ConclusionThe recurrence rate in patients with stage IA p53abn endometrial cancer without myoinvasion was 16%, highest in the setting of residual endometrial disease (19%), and exceeding the threshold where adjuvant therapy is often considered. The high frequency of distant recurrences observed may support chemotherapy as part of the treatment regimen.
