Abstract

Introduction Estrogen receptor(ER)/Progesterone receptor(PR) status has been known as a prognostic factor in endometrial cancer. Our study aimed to analyze the association between ER/PR status and risk factors including stage, histologic grade, myometrial invasion, lymphovascular space invasion(LVSI), lymph node(LN) metastasis, and cytology washing results in order to determine their relevance in postmenopausal women with endometrioid type endometrial cancer.

Methods We retrospectively analyzed 114 postmenopausal patients who underwent staging surgery after being diagnosed with endometrioid type endometrial cancer at Haeundae Paik Hospital between 2010 and 2022. The associations between ER/PR status and risk factors were compared using the chi-square test.

Results ER status showed statistically significant associations with histologic grade, myometrial invasion, LVSI, LN metastasis, and the results of washing cytology (p-values were 0.001, 0.016, 0.033, 0.018, and 0.013, respectively). On the other hand, PR status showed only significant association with histologic grade statistically (p-value 0.001).

Conclusion/Implications ER status was observed to have a more significant role as a prognostic factor than PR in postmenopausal endometrioid type endometrial cancer.
