Background: According to data from the "Endometrial Cancer Report" by the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRFI), endometrial cancer is the sixth most common malignancy in the world and is the largest cancer in female organs, after cervical cancer. This incidence is increasing every year, it is predicted to increase about 5% of new cases each year. The main prognostic factors of endometrial cancer are determined by the histological type, stage, degree, differentiation of the tumor, invasive myometrial level and increase in lympho-vascular invasion. In addition to determining the histopathological factors, the prognosis is also determined from the clinical patient. Several studies have shown certain clinical factors also improve the condition and prognosis of the disease. Prognosis of this disease with the quality of life of patients becomes an interesting topic to discuss. Besides that quality of life is also a measure of therapeutic success. The better the prognosis of a disease, the better the quality of life, the higher the success rate of therapy (Greimel, 2010).Objective: To know correlation between clinicohistopathological and quality of life in patients with endometrial cancer after undergoing surgery at Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta.Method: The research is analytic with cross sectional approach. Patients with endometrial cancer who have undergone total hysterectomy and bisalpingoophorectomy surgery are assessed for their quality of life through interviews and filling out questionnaires in the EORTC QLQ-C 30 and QLQ-EN 24 modules.Results and Discussion: This study, most people with endometrial cancer aged 55-65 years were 34 people (42%) and diagnosed after menopause with a range of age >55 years as many as 43 people (53.1%). This study cannot prove the hypothesis that age, parity, body mass index, type of histopathology and KGB involvement have a relationship with the quality of life of cancer patients (p >0.05). But in contrast to the stage of early cancer (OR 3.17, p=0.044 (CI 95% 1.03-9.75)) and good and moderate differentiation (OR 4.471, p=0.023 (CI 95% 1.23-16.24)) have a significant relationship with quality of life.Conclusion: Clinicohistopathological factors (cancer stage and tumor differentiation) have a correlation with the quality of life at patients with postoperative endometrial cancer in Sardjito Hospital Keywords: Endometrial cancer; clinicohistopathological factors; quality of life
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
