“…28 Two descriptive studies evaluating the safety of ovarian preservation in EC patients have noted that young patients of early-stage and low tumor grade, with myometrial invasion 50% or less, are proper candidates for ovarian preservation. 24,29 The feature of our data is consistent with these descriptive studies. The included patients were mostly younger than the age of 45, stage I, and with tumor grade I or II.…”

“…The rate of ovarian involvement in early-stage EC is approximately 5%, but most of those patients were with abnormal ovaries that could be detected either by preoperative imaging or surgical exploration, whereas the rate of microscopic lesion is less than 1%. 14,23,24 Theoretically, the probability of leaving suspicious ovaries during a surgical management is extremely low. Third, the risk of future primary cancer could be elevated in young women with EC because there may be underlying hereditary cause in those patients, for example, Lynch syndrome and BRCA mutation, which are most related.…”

“…However, occasionally these patients present with occult ovarian malignant involvement, as evident from postoperative detailed pathological inspection. In our analysis, ovarian malignant involvement occurred in 4.5% patients with clinical stage I endometrioid endometrial carcinoma, in keeping with Lin et al [16] who reported ovarian involvement in 5% of their patient group. The ratio of ovarian malignant involvement in low risk patients was 1.04% while patients in the sub-high risk group positive for at least one risk factor showed higher ovarian involvement (6.6%).…”

“…Lee et al found that among the 206 patients without any evidence of intraoperative extrauterine disease, the coexisting ovarian malignancy rate was 0.97%, and zero for those under age of 45 [ 7 ]. Ken et al also reported that ovarian involvement occurred in 5% of patients with clinical stage I EC, and microscopic ovarian involvement without grossly visible lesions only occurred in 0.8% of the patients [ 25 ].…”
