Clinicopathological study of organ metastasis in endometrial cancer

Our aim was to analyze the clinicopathological features of lung, liver, bone and brain metastasis in patients with endometrial cancer (EC). We screened patients diagnosed with EC between 2010 and 2015 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database. Among 69,027 eligible EC patients, lung metastasis was the most common. Patients with lung or liver metastasis were at higher risk of bone and brain metastases than those without lung and liver metastasis. Brain metastasis has the lowest survival time (5.0 months) in single organ metastasis. Liver and brain metastasis have the highest death rate in two organ metastasis, and lung, liver and brain metastasis had the lowest survival time (1.0 month) in multi-sites metastasis. Lung metastasis was the most common in EC patients. Assessing distant organ metastasis may help clinicians to determine appropriate follow-up strategy for patients with EC.
