To evaluate the therapeutic benefit of lymphadenectomy and adjuvant therapy, in particular chemotherapy, we retrospectively analysed survival rates and patterns of recurrence of endometrioid adenocarcinoma in 106 patients who underwent surgery including retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 46 patients (42 received a platinum-based regimen) and pelvic irradiation to 12. The 5-year survival rate of 23 patients with lymph node metastasis was worse than that of patients without lymph node metastasis (60% vs 96%, P&lt;0.0001). Recurrence was observed in 14 patients (10 patients with chemotherapy, two with irradiation, and two without adjuvant therapy); the first site of recurrence was in distant sites in 12 patients; recurrence in the pelvic sidewall or exclusively in lymph nodes was not observed. The 5-year survival rate of 18 patients with lymph node metastasis treated with chemotherapy, was 61% including all 14 with macroscopically positive nodes and all nine with paraaortic metastasis. Of seven patients with bulky positives nodes, three patients with bulky paraaortic nodes died of the disease, three of the four patients with bulky pelvic but without bulky paraaortic nodes had no recurrence. In summary, lymphadenectomy may afford a survival benefit via the debulking of macroscopically positive nodes, and the predominance of distant recurrences suggests that chemotherapy is a suitable choice as an adjuvant therapy in endometrial carcinoma after lymphadenectomy.
