Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most frequent gynecological cancers in developed countries. Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), histological grade, and myometrial invasion (MMI) are important prognostic factors of endometrial carcinoma. LVSI is considered an independent poor prognostic factor in endometrial carcinoma. Based on the importance of LVSI, this study aimed to discuss the association of LVSI with tumor grade and MMI. A search of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library was carried out to collect related studies. Consequently, most studies showed that LVSI is significantly associated with higher histologic grade and deep MMI.
子宫内膜癌是发达国家最常见的妇科癌症之一。淋巴管间隙浸润(LVSI)、组织学分级和肌层浸润(MMI)是子宫内膜癌重要的预后因素。LVSI被认为是子宫内膜癌独立的不良预后因素。基于LVSI的重要性,本研究旨在探讨LVSI与肿瘤分级和MMI之间的关联。通过检索PubMed、EMBASE、Web of Science、Scopus、谷歌学术和Cochrane图书馆来收集相关研究。结果,大多数研究表明LVSI与更高的组织学分级和深部MMI显著相关。
