Risk group | ESMO-ESGO-ESTRO consensus1 | Common treatment recommendations |
Low risk | Stage I EEC, grade 1–2,<50% myometrial invasion, LVSI negative | No adjuvant treatment |
Low-intermediate risk | Stage I EEC, grade 1–2,≥50% myometrial invasion, LVSI negative | Vaginal brachytherapy (consider observation if age <60 years) |
High-intermediate risk | Stage I EEC, grade 3, <50% myometrial invasion, any LVSI Stage I EEC, grade 1–2, LVSI unequivocally positive, any myometrial invasion |
Vaginal brachytherapy Consider pelvic external beam radiotherapy if LVSI is unequivocally positive, especially if no lymph node dissection or sentinel node has been performed. |
High risk | Stage I EEC, grade 3, ≥50% myometrial invasion, any LVSI |
External beam radiotherapy Consider vaginal brachytherapy if no LVSI |
Stage II EEC Stage III EEC |
Vaginal brachytherapy if grade 1–2 and LVSI negative Pelvic radiotherapy if :
Stage III: combined adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy (PORTEC-3 schedule or sequential) |
|
NEEC stage I–III (serous, clear cell or undifferentiated cancers; carcinosarcoma) | Vaginal brachytherapy if serous/clear cell, stage IA after full surgical staging, LVSI negative Stage IB–III: combined adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy and chemotherapy |
