Preoperative evaluation should include a complete medical history and physical examination, pelvic examination and rectal examination with [[stool guaiac test]], chest X-ray, complete blood count, and blood chemistry tests, including liver function tests.

Total [[extrafascial]] [[hysterectomy]] with bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy with pelvic or [[para-aortic lymph node]] dissection is standard procedure. Complete removal of [[omentum]] is warranted for serous or clear cell variety. If a surgeon happens to palpate and find enlarged pelvic or para-aortic lymph nodes, then their sampling or removal is required.

In the operating room, the dissected uterine specimen must be grossly visualized to look for [[myometrial]] invasion. In multicenter series of 403 patients who underwent TAH-BSO, the sensitivity , specificity, positive and negative predictive value of gross assessment of myometrial invasion was found to be 73, 93, 85 and 86% respectively. Frozen section of area of invasion is a good practice but it has not shown consistent results.

The primary treatment is surgical.  Surgical treatment should consist of, at least, cytologic sampling of the peritoneal fluid, abdominal exploration, palpation and biopsy of suspicious lymph nodes, abdominal [[hysterectomy]], and removal of both [[ovary|ovaries]] (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy).  Lymphadenectomy, or removal of pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes, is sometimes performed for tumors that have high risk features, such as pathologic grade 3 serous or clear-cell tumors, invasion of more than 1/2 the myometrium, or extension to the cervix or adnexa.  Sometimes, removal of the [[omentum]] is also performed.

Women with stage 1 disease who are at increased risk for recurrence and those with stage 2 disease are often offered surgery in combination with [[radiation therapy]].

Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for endometrial cancer stage I-III.

Surgery

  • Surgery is the first-line treatment option for patients with endometrial cancer especially if no metastasis is suspected.
  • The treatment approach is based on staging, pathology, and histologic features of the cancer:[1][2]
Risk Risk definition Management Additional notes
Low risk • Stage IA endometrial cancer
• Well differentiated endometroid histology
• Tumor confined to endometrium 		Total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and lymph node evaluation • Women that opt for preservation of fertility may be candidates for medical therapy
• Adjuvant therapy not indicated
Intermediate risk • Stage I (tumor invades myometrium) or
• Stage II (tumor demonstrates cervical stroma invasion)
• Tumor usually moderately differentiated or poorly differentiated 		• Total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorecomy, and lymph node evaluation
• Adjuvant radiotherapy is indicated for patients with risk factors 		• No data available to recommend adjuvant chemotherapy in these patients
• Observation recommended instead of adjuvant radiotherapy if patient has no risk factors
High risk • Stage III or higher or
• Any stage with serous or clear cell carcinoma 		• For stage I and II, surgery may be followed by adjuvant vaginal brachytherapy
• For stage III and IV, surgery should be followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and pelvic radiotherapy 		Giving adjuvant brachytherapy for the high risk early staged tumors depends on patient and provider preferences
