“…Radiation is currently recommended for advanced corpus carcinoma with lymph invasion. [ 2 , 3 ] Patients receiving radiation have a significantly reduced recurrence and metastasis rate, and disease-free survival is greater. [ 4 , 5 ] However, side effects of radiation have been widely reported, including impaired fertility, [ 6 ] secondary malignancy, [ 7 , 8 ] and lung metastasis.…”

“…The question regarding the therapeutic benefit has long remained unanswered by direct study despite indirect evidence from a SEER analysis by Chan et al demonstrating that the extent of the lymph node dissection by count was directly related to improved OS [27]. The findings of Yoon et al include a significant effect of lymphadenectomy when patients are treated with radiation therapy alone and although there was a trend towards a similar result in those patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation, it did not reach statistical significance [28]. As a practical matter, the inability to identify macroscopic involvement of the retroperitoneal nodes without subjecting patients to additional surgical morbidity, is problematic.…”

“…The benefit of lymphadenectomy in EC patients has been a controversial topic for over a decade (12)(13)(14). The survival advantage associated with lymphadenectomy exists primarily in patients with a relatively high risk of recurrence (14)(15)(16)(17)(18), and improperly expanding the indication of lymphadenectomy might result in more adverse effects instead (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25). Our research didn't support the role of lymphadenectomy in preventing LNR in terms of the scope and number of LNs harvest, with agreement with Mariani et al (5).…”
