The Authors have referred to their experience based on 293 endometrial cancer patients operated at the II University Gynecological Clinic in Catania [Italy] between 1975 and 1989. Many prognostic indicators such as stage, histologic grade, myometrial invasion depth, lymphnode metastasis, non-neoplastic endometrium histology, tumor size and histology were studied; the Authors affirm the validity of two risk factors such as tumor size and the histology of the non-neoplastic endometrium, readily observable by hysteroscopy during the preoperative assessment and which are well correlated with the depth of myometrial invasion and lymphnode metastasis.
