  1. LVSI = lymphovascular space invasion, CA125 = Cancer antigen 125, FIGO = International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics.
  2. Histologic grade: low grade(grade 1 or 2), high grade(grade 3 or non-endometrioid cancer).
  3. Non-endometrioid carcinoma: serous carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, carcinosarcoma.
  4. Unless otherwise specified, data are the number of patients, with percentage in parentheses.
  5. a Data are means ± SDs.
  6. # Data are medians, with IQRs in parentheses.
  7. * The variable is statistically significant.
