Prognostic evaluation of lymph-vascular space invasion in patients with endometrioid and non-endometrioid endometrial cancer : A multicenter study

© 2024 Published by Elsevier Ltd..

INTRODUCTION: The prognostic value of lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI) on endometrial cancer (EC) remains controversial. This study aimed to explore the impact of LVSI on patients with endometrioid and non-endometrioid EC in China.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed EC patients who underwent surgery from 2010 to 2019 in seven Chinese hospitals retrospectively and stratified patients based on histopathologic types and LVSI status. Endpoints were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Propensity score matching (PSM) algorithm was used to balance the confounding factors. The survival was examined using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to find prognostic independent risk factors.

RESULTS: Among 3715 EC patients, LVSI positive rate was 9.31% (346/3715). After matching, LVSI present group had shorter DFS (P = 0.005), and similar OS (P = 0.656) than LVSI absent group for endometrioid EC patients. For non-endometrioid EC patients, there was no statistical difference in either DFS (P = 0.536) or OS (P = 0.512) after matching. The multivariate Cox analysis showed that LVSI was an independent risk factor of DFS [hazard ratio (HR) 2.62, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.35-5.10, P = 0.005] and not OS (HR 1.24, 95%CI 0.49-3.13, P = 0.656) for endometrioid EC patients. It was not a prognostic factor of either DFS (HR 1.28, 95%CI 0.58-2.81, P = 0.539) or OS (HR 1.33, 95%CI 0.55-3.13, P = 0.515) for non-endometrioid EC patients.

CONCLUSION: LVSI is an adverse prognostic factor for endometrioid EC patients and has no impact on non-endometrioid EC patients. Necessity of postoperative adjuvant therapy based on LVSI needs to be carefully considered for non-endometrioid EC patients.
