Objective: To establish predictive factors for lymph node metastases (LNM) and the incidence rate of LNM in patients with EC type 1. Materials and methods: Since 2006 until 06. 2012 125 patients with EC type I ? 34 G1 (27.2%), 87 G2 (67.2%), 7 G3 (5.6%) were operated on in Gynecological clinic-MHAT, St Anna?-Varna. According to the depth of myometrial invasion 67 patients had less than ? (53,6%), 24- more than ? (19,2%) and 34- with tumor limited to the endometrium (27,2%). Lymph node dissection (LND) ? pelvic and/or paraaortic was preformed in 82 patients (65,6%), 43 patients were without LND. The number of dissected lymph nodes ranges from 7 to 20, an average- 11. Results: LNM were detected in 8 women out of 82? 9,76%; 1 to 3 LNM were detected in 5 patients ( 62,5%); in 2 patients (25%) were established more than 3 LNM, and in 1 woman ? both pelvic and para-aortic LNM (12,5%). LNM were detected in 5 (8,3%) out of 55 patients with myometrial invasion under ?, and in 3 (13,7%) of 19 patients with invasion more than half of myometrium p< 0.05. Incidence rate of LNM in FIGO stage II was 20% whereas in stage I -8.3%, p< 0.05. The incidence rate of LNM in patients with G1, G2 and G3 was ? 0%, 14.3% and 25%, respectively (p<0,005). Conclusion: FIGO stage, grading and depth of myometrial invasion are predictive factors for LNM in women with endometrial cancer type I. Key words: lymph node metastases, endometrial cancer type I.
