Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a study conducted on endometrial cancer patients who were classified as intermediate high risk and high risk. The focus of the study was on the impact of lymphovascular space invasion (LBSI) and nodal status on patient survival and patterns of failure. The study included 1,187 patients with tumor stages ranging from 1 to 3. The results showed that when LBSI and nodes were absent, myometrial invasion did not significantly affect outcomes. Additionally, the study found that patients with node positivity and LBSI had a higher risk of relapse. The speaker suggests that pelvic control is excellent, but failure often occurs outside the pelvis.
