OBJECTIVE: Our study aimed to explore the effect of body mass index (BMI) change on cancer recurrence risk during the routine surveillance of endometrial cancer patients.

METHODS: Data on patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma that had a staging procedure and continued follow-up was retrospectively collected. We compared patients' BMI at time of surgery and during the last clinic follow-up. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to examine the effect of predictors on BMI change and the risk of recurrence.

RESULTS: A total of 211 patients were included in the final analysis. The majority of patients had stage I disease (n=176, 89%) and endometrioid histology (n=178, 86%). Median follow-up time was 53.4 (standard deviation (SD) 40) months. The mean BMI was 30.4 kg/m2 (interquartile range (IQR) 25-34) at surgery compared with 30.9 kg/m2 (IQR 26-36) at last follow-up (p<0.001). The BMI increase was most pronounced in patients with endometroid histology that recurred, 31.6 (IQR 24-35) kg/m2 at surgery compared with 33.5 (IQR 27-36) kg/m2 at last follow-up (p=0.016). On multivariate analysis, age and BMI change were the only predictors that were significantly associated with the risk of recurrence (overall response (OR 1.07 (0.99-1.14), p=0.05, OR 1.37 (1.12-1.67), p=0.002, respectively).

CONCLUSION: Patients with endometroid endometrial cancer that had an increase in BMI during follow-up were at an increased risk for cancer recurrence compared with patients that did not change or had a decrease in BMI.
