Endometrial cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the genital tract in women, with an increasing incidence in the last few years. The reported incidence in the United States surpassed 40.00 cases/year while the death rate reached almost 7500 deaths/year (1,2). The most important prognostic factors are thought to be diabetes, estrogen secreting tumors, nulliparity and the higher number of overweight persons (2). While up to 70% of patients are diagnosed in an early stage of the disease and report an excellent outcome (5 year overall survival of 90%), patients diagnosed in an advanced stage of the disease have a poor prognosis associated with low rates of survival - 67% and 23%, respectively, for cases with regional or distant disease (3). However, in these cases it seems that an aggressive surgical approach similar to the one performed in advanced ovarian cancer is perfectly justified (2,4).
