4 Summary of the Guidelines updates Summary of the changes in the version of the Guidelines from the version include: The title of the guideline was changed to and includes endometrial carcinoma and uterine sarcoma. An overview page of the initial evaluation of uterine neoplasms was added ( UN-1). Malignant mixed Müllerian tum replaced carcinosarcoma throughout the guideline and was moved to the epithelial carcinoma section. Endometrial Carcinoma: Adjuvant treatment f All other stage IIIA disease was reganized to have chemotherapy ± RT listed as the first option ( ENDO-5). Footnote i is new to the page ( ENDO-6). The biopsy finding, Malignant mixed Müllerian tum is new to the page ( ENDO-10). Footnote l is new to the page ( ENDO-10). Ifosfamide based chemotherapy regimen was added f Malignant mixed Müllerian tum ( ENDO-B). Uterine Sarcoma: Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS), high-grade undifferentiated sarcoma (HGUD) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS) are now categized by histology then stage ( UTSARC-2 and UTSARC-3). Pelvic RT was added as an option f Stage III ESS and Palliative RT was added as an option f Stage IVB ESS ( UTSARC-2). Adjuvant therapy options f Stage III HGUD and LMS changed to Consider chemotherapy and Consider tum directed RT ( UTSARC-3). Palliative RT was added as an option to Stage IVB HGUD and LMS ( UTSARC-3). Abdomen and pelvic were added to chest imaging f surveillance of uterine sarcoma ( UTSARC-4). Gemcitabine/docetaxel regimen was clarified as a categy 2B recommendation f advanced metastatic disease ( UTSARC-A). Cisplatin/ifosfamide/mesna regimen was removed as a recommendation f advanced metastatic disease ( UTSARC-A). GnRh analogs was clarified as a categy 2B recommendation f hmone therapy options f ESS only f advanced metastatic disease ( UTSARC-A). Aromatase inhibits was added to the hmone therapy options f ESS only f advanced metastatic disease ( UTSARC-A). Note: All recommendations are categy 2A unless otherwise indicated.

26 Manuscript Categies of Consensus Endometrial Cancer Overview This manuscript is being updated to crespond with the newly updated algithm. Categy 1: There is unifm consensus, based on high-level evidence, that the recommendation is appropriate. Categy 2A: There is unifm consensus, based on lowerlevel evidence including clinical experience, that the recommendation is appropriate. Categy 2B: There is nonunifm consensus (but no maj disagreement), based on lower-level evidence including clinical experience, that the recommendation is appropriate. Categy 3: There is maj disagreement that the recommendation is appropriate. All recommendations are categy 2A unless otherwise noted. Adenocarcinoma of the endometrium is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract in the United States. It is estimated that 41,200 new uterine cancer cases will be diagnosed in , with 7,350 deaths resulting from the disease. In approximately 75% of patients with adenocarcinoma of the endometrium, the invasive neoplasm is confined to the uterus at diagnosis. Many physicians believe that adenocarcinoma of the endometrium is a relatively benign disease because of the early symptoms of irregular vaginal bleeding in this predominantly postmenopausal patient population, the often localized nature of the Manuscript update in progress disease, and the generally high survival rate. A critical evaluation of survival data, however, indicates that this belief is inaccurate. Although the estimated incidence of endometrial cancer in the United States remained relatively constant from 1987 to 1998, the estimated number of deaths from endometrial cancer doubled from 1,2 2,900 in 1987 to 6,300 in 1998 and continues to increase. The reasons underlying this increase in the death rate are probably multifactial, but they indicate the need f a critical reassessment of the guidelines f managing endometrial cancer. It is imperative that physicians identify high-risk patients and tail treatment appropriately to provide the best opptunity f long-term survival. By definition, the practice guidelines cannot incpate all possible clinical variations and are not intended to replace good clinical judgment individualization of treatments. Exceptions to the rule were discussed among the members of the panel during the process of developing these guidelines. Diagnosis and Wkup Most patients (90%) with endometrial carcinoma have abnmal vaginal bleeding, most commonly in the postmenopausal period. Initial preoperative evaluation f early-stage endometrial cancer should include a histy and physical examination, chest x-ray, a complete blood count, and platelet count. Diagnosis can usually be made by an office endometrial biopsy. If cervical involvement is suspected, cervical biopsy MRI should be considered. Cervical cytology should be assessed using the Cervical Screening Guidelines. Given the typical age group at risk f endometrial carcinoma and the presence of combid illnesses, it is prudent in selected patients to also include assessments of serum electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, serum glucose, and renal and liver function.

27 ancillary tests (such as cystoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) should be reserved f evaluating extrauterine disease as indicated by clinical symptoms, physical findings, abnmal labaty findings. In patients with extrauterine disease, a serum CA 125 assay may be 3,4 helpful in moniting clinical response. However, serum CA 125 levels may be falsely increased in women who have severe radiation injury, nmal in women with isolated vaginal metastases, and may not predict recurrence in the absence of other clinical findings. 5-7 extent in 15% to 20% of patients. This repted understaging and, me imptantly, the ability to identify multiple prognostic facts with a full pathologic review made possible with surgical staging, motivated a change in the staging classification. Therefe, in 1988 the Cancer Committee of FIGO modified its staging system to emphasize complete surgicopathologic assessment of data, such as histologic grade, myometrial invasion, as well as the extent and location of extrauterine spread, including retroperitoneal lymph node metastases (see Table 1) The histologic infmation from the endometrial biopsy (with without endocervical curettage) should be sufficient f planning definitive treatment. Office endometrial biopsies have a falsenegative rate of about 10%. Thus, a negative endometrial biopsy in a symptomatic patient must be followed by a fractional curettage under anesthesia. Hysteroscopy may be helpful in evaluating the endometrium f lesions, such as a polyp, if the patient has persistent recurrent undiagnosed bleeding. Endometrial Cancer Staging The FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) system is most commonly used f staging. The iginal 1970 criteria f staging endometrial cancer incpated only infmation gained from presurgical evaluation, including physical examination as well as diagnostic fractional dilation and curettage. A substantial number of patients at that time were not treated with primary surgery because of obesity various other medical problems. Thus, this staging system should only be used today in the rare instances when the patient is not a surgical candidate. Several studies in the biomedical literature demonstrated that clinical staging was inaccurate and did not reflect actual disease 8 Primary Treatment Manuscript update in progress A pathology review will provide clinical findings of various endometriod histologies, papillary serous clear cell carcinoma. These guidelines divide endometrial cancer into three categies f delineating treatment: (1) disease limited to the uterus, (2) suspected gross cervical involvement, and (3) suspected extrauterine disease. The pathologic assessment of the uterus should include (1) ratio of depth of myometrial invasion to myometrial thickness; (2) tum size; (3) tum location (fundus versus lower uterine segment/cervix); (4) histologic subtype with grade; (5) lymphovascular space invasion; and (6) frozen section as indicated. Disease Limited to the Uterus. Most patients with endometrial cancer have stage I disease at presentation. If medically operable, the recommended surgical procedure f the staging of a patient with endometrial cancer clinically confined to the fundal ption of the uterus includes peritoneal lavage f cytology and total hysterectomy/bilateral salpingo-oophectomy (TH/BSO) with dissection of pelvic and para-atic lymph nodes via an abdominal approach. 13 During surgery, the abdominal gans (including the diaphragm, liver, omentum, and pelvic and bowel peritoneal Version /01/ National Comprehensive Cancer Netwk, Inc.

28 surfaces) should be carefully inspected and palpated. The pathologic infmation obtained provides an optimal basis f the decision and design of adjuvant therapy. F medically inoperable patients, exclusive radiation therapy (RT) has been demonstrated as a well-tolerated and effective treatment that can provide some measure of pelvic control and long-term progression-free survival. Pelvic and atic lymphadenectomy are recommended f all patients with disease confined to the uterus and f suspected gross cervical involvement. Studies show that in 15% to 20% of cases, the preoperative grade (as assessed by endometrial biopsy curettage) is upgraded on final fixed pathologic evaluation of the hysterectomy specimen. the grade of the tum increases, the accuracy of intraoperative evaluation of myometrial invasion by gross examination of fresh tissue decreases. In one study, the depth of invasion was accurately determined by gross examinations in 87.3% of grade 1 lesions, % of grade 2 lesions, and 30.8% of grade 3 lesions.

F medically inoperable patients, pelvic RT with brachytherapy can provide long-term local control and cancerspecific survival rates. Suspected Extrauterine Disease. If extrauterine disease is suspected, labaty tests of CA 125 level imaging studies (such as MRI CT) are recommended if clinically indicated. Patients with negative results are treated using the guidelines f disease limited to the uterus. Intra-abdominal disease (such as ascites, omental, nodal, ovarian, peritoneal involvement) warrants surgical intervention using TH/BSO with cytology as well as selective pelvic and para-atic lymph node dissection, omentectomy, and debulking. Patients with extrauterine pelvic disease (such as vaginal, bladder, bowel/rectal, parametrial involvement) are treated with RT and brachytherapy with without surgery chemotherapy.

The Aalders' randomized trial found that RT only prevents vaginal recurrences and that RT does not reduce distant metastases improve survival. The Keys' trial revealed that most of the initial recurrences were confined to the vagina, prompting the use of vaginal brachytherapy as adjunctive treatment. A recent retrospective analysis of 21,249 women with endometrial cancer found that adjuvant RT only improved overall and relative survival in those with stage IC disease. There is a consensus that patients with documented extrauterine disease are at increased risk f recurrence and need adjuvant therapy; however, the optimal fm of adjuvant therapy has yet to be determined Treatment is often tailed to the surgically defined extent of disease. A point of histical controversy has been whether positive peritoneal cytology (stage IIIA) is an independent prognostic fact, after adjustment f other known risk facts. present, there is general agreement that in the absence of other adverse pathologic features (high-grade tums, deep myometrial invasion, papillary serous clear cell histologies, documented extrauterine disease), a positive peritoneal cytology may be a clinically inconsequential finding. Completely Surgically Staged Patients. The imprecision of preoperative and intraoperative assessment of grade and myometrial invasion along with the potential therapeutic benefit of lymph node dissection make the concept of intraoperative decisionbased lymph node dissection difficult to apply prospectively with accuracy. Therefe, complete surgical staging to gather full 21 Manuscript update in progress 25,26 At Laparoscopic pelvic and para-atic lymphadenectomy in association with laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy has been proposed as an alternative surgical approach; however, the panel recommends that this approach be used only in the context of a clinical trial and that patients should be followed over a long term to compare their outcomes with those of traditional laparotomy. A randomized phase III trial evaluating this potentially less invasive method is underway (GOG-LAP2). To assess the role of adjuvant radiation in surgically staged endometrial cancer patients without extrauterine disease, the GOG completed a multicenter trial that randomly assigned patients with stage IB, stage IC, and occult stage II disease (any grade) to pelvic radiotherapy versus observation alone after primary surgery. Initial analysis of the study showed a significant decrease in overall recurrences and an improvement in the 2-year progression-free interval faving the radiated coht, but overall survival was not statistically different between the two groups. Patterns of failure analysis in the GOG trial revealed an intriguing finding: most of the initial pelvic recurrences in the observation group were limited to the vagina. This finding has prompted some clinicians to ask if vaginal brachytherapy is sufficient adjuvant treatment f patients with tums that are histologically confined to the uterus, despite the existence of other intrauterine risk features. 27 The GOG randomized trial has also been criticized f including patients with a broad range of relapse risk, including many who probably have excellent prognoses, hence diluting the possibility of detecting a benefit to adjuvant therapy. 21 Version /01/ National Comprehensive Cancer Netwk, Inc.

30 Adequate surgical staging provides imptant infmation to assist in selection of adjuvant therapy f endometrial tums. Patients with completely surgically staged stage I endometrial cancer are stratified by adverse risk facts such as advanced age, lymphovascular invasion, tum size, depth of invasion, and involvement of lower uterine segment. All stage IA, G1-3 patients should be observed. However, vaginal brachytherapy is also recommended f stage IA, G3 disease if no adverse risk facts are present. Observation vaginal brachytherapy with without pelvic RT (categy 2B f all options) is recommended f patients with adverse risk facts. Stage IB patients without adverse risk facts can be observed treated with vaginal brachytherapy (G2-3). If adverse facts are present, stage IB, G1 patients should be observed undergo vaginal brachytherapy; however, stage 1B, G2 tums need observation vaginal brachytherapy with without pelvic RT (categy 2B f all options). Stage IB, G3 tums need pelvic RT and/ vaginal brachytherapy (categy 2B f all options). F stage IC patients with adverse risk facts, pelvic RT and/ vaginal brachytherapy is recommended (categy 2B f all options), regardless of their histologic grade. Otherwise, if no adverse risk Manuscript update in progress nodal disease was found in 19% of grade 2 cancers and in 34% of grade 3 cancers. Given the wider acceptance of fmal surgicopathologic evaluation and the adoption of the 1988 FIGO staging classification (see Table 1), clinical stage I and stage II patients with adverse intrauterine features who were once deemed at risk f nodal metastases are now upstaged to stage III and stage IV when extrauterine disease is documented. The implications of this stage migration should be taken into account when evaluating histical data. Significant controversy centers on appropriate adjuvant therapy in patients with surgical stage I and stage II endometrial cancer, regardless of intrauterine features, f whom extrauterine disease has been clearly ruled out. In a large prospective study, the GOG repted that the 5-year survival rate f surgical stage I patients with no adverse risk facts other than grade and myometrial invasion (ie, without extrauterine disease, isthmus/cervical involvement, lymphovascular space invasion) was 92.7%. practice of surgical staging has led to a decrease in the use of adjuvant therapy f stage I endometrial carcinoma. facts are present, observation vaginal brachytherapy is recommended f G1-2 patients; however, pelvic RT and/ vaginal carcinoma with unfavable prognostic facts was demonstrated by The benefit of external irradiation in pathologic stage I endometrial brachytherapy (categy 2B f all options) is recommended f G3 a prospective clinical study.
