{Abstract}: The aim of this study was to investigate whether young patients with endometrial carcinoma can preserve adnexa and lymph nodes to improve their quality of life without compromising their prognosis.<BR>A total of 319 patients with type I endometrial carcinoma (high or moderate differentiation and less than 1/2 myometrial invasion) hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2012 to July 2021 were included. The patients were divided into four groups: high differentiation without myometrial invasion group (G1MI-), high differentiation with superficial myometrial invasion group (G1MI+), moderate differentiation without myometrial invasion group (G2MI-), and moderate differentiation with superficial myometrial invasion group (G2MI+). Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors for extra-uterine involvement. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve to compare the prognosis in subgroups and rates of extra-uterine involvement were also compared using Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.<BR>Multivariable logistic regression revealed that differentiation (HR = 14.590, 95%CI = 1.778-119.754, p = 0.013) and myometrial invasion (HR = 10.732, 95%CI = 0.912-92.780, p = 0.037) were the independent risk factors for extra-uterine involvement. The overall difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). In the subgroups analysis, both adnexal metastasis and lymph node metastasis were statistically significant in the G2MI+ group compared with G1MI- (p = 0.007, p = 0.008). There were no significant differences in the overall survival (OS) rate and progression free survival (PFS) rate among the four subgroups (p > 0.05).<BR>Surgery with adnexal preservation and without systematic lymphadenectomy could be employed for the patients who are high differentiation with less than 1/2 myometrial invasion or moderate differentiation without myometrial invasion, but not recommended to the patients with moderate differentiation and superficial myometrial invasion.
