Objective. Gynecologic oncologists have sought to define adequate lymphadenectomy. The purpose of this study is to determine the probability of detecting lymph node metastasis by lymph node count compared to number of nodal stations sampled.Methods. This is a clinicopathologic review of surgically staged endometrial carcinoma patients from 2000 to 2008. Information was extracted from patients' medical records. Student t-test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used. Elimination logistic regression was performed to identify independent significant predictors of lymph node metastasis. p
