Abstract
Background: The objective of this study was to explore the factors that influence overall survival in obese patients with endometrial cancer (EC).
Methods: The retrospective study included patients with EC who were treated between 2000 and April 2013. Subjects were divided into the following groups based on body mass index (BMI): non-obese (<24.0 kg/m2), overweight (24.0-28.0 kg/m2) and obese (>28.0 kg/m2). Survival data were estimated using Kaplan-Meier's curves and compared using log-rank statistics.
Results: A total of 280 cases were enrolled, including 22.5% in non-obese group, 42.9% in overweight group and 34.6% in obese group. Among different BMI groups, obese EC patients with diabetes have a lower survival rate (p = .041), and obese EC patients with menopause have a lower survival rate (p = .021). The survival rate of overweight EC patients was significantly reduced if vascular thrombus and lymph node metastasis were found during operation (p < .001).
Conclusions: Our data suggest that the association of obese EC patients with menstrual status, diabetes and intraoperative vasculature embolus and lymph node metastasis significantly affects postoperative survival. In all subjects, the relevant factors were independent prognostic factors in patients with obese.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology represents an established forum for the entire field of obstetrics and gynaecology, publishing a broad range of original, peer-reviewed papers, from scientific and clinical research to reviews relevant to practice. It also includes occasional supplements on clinical symposia. The journal is read widely by trainees in our specialty and we acknowledge a major role in education in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Past and present editors have recognized the difficulties that junior doctors encounter in achieving their first publications and spend time advising authors during their initial attempts at submission. The journal continues to attract a world-wide readership thanks to the emphasis on practical applicability and its excellent record of drawing on an international base of authors.
