Abstract [en]

Purpose: The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes after comprehensive surgical staging including infrarenal paraaortic lymphadenectomy in women with high-risk endometrial cancer (EC) are unknown. Our aim was to investigate the long-term HRQoL between robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) and laparotomy (LT). Patients and Methods: A total of 120 women with high-risk stage I-II EC were randomised to RALS or LT for hysterectomy, bilateral salpingoophorectomy, pelvic and infrarenal paraaortic lymphadenectomy in the previously reported Robot-Assisted Surgery for High-Risk Endometrial Cancer trial. The HRQoL was measured with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-30) and its supplementary questionnaire module for endometrial cancer (QLQ-EN24) questionnaire. Women were assessed before and 12 months after surgery. In addition, the EuroQol Eq5D non-disease specific questionnaire was used for descriptive analysis. Results: There was no difference in the functional scales (including global health status) in the intention to treat analysis, though LT conferred a small clinically important difference (CID) over RALS in cognitive functioning albeit not statistically significant -6 (95% CI-14 to 0, p = .06). LT conferred a significantly better outcome for the nausea and vomiting item though it did not reach a CID, 4 (95% CI 1 to 7, p = .01). In the EORTC-QLQ/QLQ-EN24, no significant differences were observed. Eq5D-3L questionnaire demonstrated a higher proportion of women reporting any extent of mobility impairment 12 months after surgery in the LT arm (p = .03). Conclusion: Overall, laparotomy and robot-assisted surgery conferred similar HRQoL 12 months after comprehensive staging for high-risk EC.
