Risk factors for lower-limb @entity4269 after surgery for XXXX .

@entity5 @entity1 @entity4269 @entity1150
BACKGROUND: Lower-limb @entity4269 (LLL) is a prevalent complication that is encountered after treatment for gynecological @entity5 . The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for postoperative LLL in @entity1 with @entity5 . METHODS: We conducted a retrospective chart review for @entity1 who had undergone surgery, including systematic lymphadenectomy, for @entity5 . @entity1 who died of @entity5 , were evaluated for short periods of time (<2 years), had missing medical records, or were suffering from @entity1150 were excluded. We utilized the International Society of Lymphology staging of @entity4269 severity as the diagnostic criteria for LLL, and @entity1 with stage II or III @entity4269 , as objectively determined by physicians, were included in the group of @entity1 with LLL. Multivariate analysis was performed to confirm independent risk factors. RESULTS: A total of 155 @entity1 with @entity5 were evaluated. Thirty-one @entity1 (20.0%) contracted LLL with a median follow-up of 6.1 years. Suprafemoral node dissection (odds ratio, 9.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-73.3; P = 0.031) and adjuvant radiotherapy (3.7; 1.2-10.9; P = 0.019) were identified as independent risk factors. CONCLUSION: Given that the effectiveness of the above two therapeutic options for @entity5 is currently controversial, the clinical benefits of these therapies should be reevaluated specifically to conserve the quality of life for @entity1 with this disease.
