All patients underwent hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy plus pelvic and/or para-aortic lymphadenectomy. The predictive values of the risk factors for LN metastasis were analyzed using χ2 and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results A total of 94 patients met our study criteria. A CA-125 cutoff of 47.5 IU/mL on the receiver operating characteristic curve provided the best sensitivity and specificity (56.5% vs 90.1%, respectively) for LN metastasis prediction. The sensitivities and specificities of old age (≥60 years), body mass index of 25 kg/m2 or greater, deep myometrial invasion, tumor size greater than 2 cm, tumor size greater than 4 cm, preoperative CA-125 greater than 47.5 IU/mL, LN metastasis on imaging, and extrauterine spread on imaging for the presence of a positive LN were 39.1%, 34.8%, 30.4%, 34.8%, 21.7%, 56.5%, 43.5%, and 52.2%, and 52.1%, 45.1%, 78.9%, 57.7%, 83.1%, 90.1%, 93.0%, and 90.1%, respectively. Preoperative CA-125 (P < 0.001), LN metastasis on preoperative imaging (P < 0.001), and extrauterine spread on preoperative imaging (P = 0.009) were risk factors for LN metastasis on univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative CA-125 (P = 0.001) was the only independent risk factor for LN metastasis.Conclusions Preoperative CA-125 is a preoperative predictive factor for LN metastasis in UPSC.
