Coexistence of uterine adenomyosis is not associated with a better prognosis in endometrioid-type endometrial cancer
Adenomyosis in endometrioid endometrial cancer patients was associated with earlier stages and less aggressive features, but was not an independent prognostic factor for survival.

This retrospective study analyzed medical records from 552 patients with surgically treated endometrioid-type endometrial cancer (2007–2017) to compare clinicopathologic factors and survival outcomes between those with coexisting uterine adenomyosis (n=103) and those without. Patients with adenomyosis had significantly earlier FIGO stage, lower tumor grade, smaller tumors (≤2 cm), less myometrial invasion (<50%), and fewer lymphovascular space invasion on univariate comparisons. Five-year overall survival was similar between groups, while disease-free survival was higher in the adenomyosis group, but adenomyosis did not remain an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis in the context of endometrioid-type endometrial cancer, addressing how coexistence of uterine adenomyosis relates to cancer prognosis, which is relevant to adenomyosis research.
