Endometrial Cancer Prognosis (Expectations)
Because endometrial cancer is usually diagnosed in the early stages (70% to 75% of cases are in stage 1 at diagnosis; 10% to 15% of cases are in stage 2; 10% to 15% of cases are in stage 3 or 4), there is a better probable outcome associated with it than with other types of gynecological cancers such as cervical or ovarian cancer.
The 5-year survival rate for endometrial cancer following appropriate treatment is:
- 75% to 95% for stage 1
- 50% for stage 2
- 30% for stage 3
- less than 5% for stage 4
