Does adenomyosis influence tumor characteristics and survival in endometrioid-type endometrial cancer??
This study demonstrates that adenomyosis is associated with a significant reduction in aggressive tumor characteristics such as myometrial invasion, lymphovascular space involvement, and lymph node metastasis in patients with endometrioid-type endometrial cancer. These findings emphasize that adenomyosis may be a potential protective factor in endometrial cancer prognosis and should be considered in clinical risk assessment. Prospective studies with larger cohorts are needed to confirm the long-term effects of adenomyosis on survival.
