Lymphovascular Invasion Is a Significant Predictor for Distant Recurrence in Patients With Early-Stage Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To evaluate the value of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EEA) as a predictor for distant recurrence, we analyzed the histopathologic features of 513 consecutive cases of nonsurgically staged EEA limited to the uterus. Grade, myoinvasion, cervical involvement, and LVI were evaluated. With a median follow-up of 28 months (range, 2-144 months), 67 cases (13.1%) recurred, 37 (7.2%) had locoregional recurrence, and 30 (5.8%) developed distant recurrence. LVI was identified in 116 cases (22.6%) cases and was the only adverse histopathologic finding in 23 cases; 5 (22%) of the 23 recurred. Multivariate analysis demonstrated a significant association between any type of recurrence and cervical involvement (hazard ratio [HR], 2.760; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.621-4.698) and LVI (HR, 2.717; CI, 1.568-4.707). Multivariate analysis revealed LVI as the only independent predictor for distant recurrence (HR, 2.841; CI, 1.282-6.297). Studies to examine the role of adjuvant systemic therapy in patients with early-stage disease should be considered.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
