Quality-of-life analysis in the management of endometrial cancer

Article Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to determine whether and how the quality of life of patients with stage I endometrial cancer was influenced by different surgical procedures with or without radiation therapy. The result suggests that nonstaged surgery with or without radiation therapy may be a preferred treatment for stage I endometrial cancer compared with staged surgery from the perspective of patients quality of life.

The result showed that many endometrial polyps are asymptomatic and multiple in nature, and polyp site, number, and diameter do not correlate with symptomatology.
