ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare risk factors and progression free survival of Type-1 and II endometrial cancers
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 149 patients with early stage endometrial carcinoma treated between 1997 and 2012 in Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi was performed
Results: A total of 149 patients were analyzed. Type-l tumors accounted for 92% of cases in the study while 8% wereType-ll tumors. The mean age, BMI, parity, co-morbidities [hypertension and Diabetes], family history and history of polycystic disease were comparable in both groups. Overall better survival [113 Vs 24 months] was observed for Type-l endometrial cancer
Conclusion: Both types of endometrial cancer may share common etiologic factors. Despite the limitation of small numbers in one group this study confirms better survival in Type-l endometrial cancer
