In patients with DM and EEC, extent of myoinvasion and TCGA molecular subtype correlated with worse PFS. Control of DM as evidenced by HgbA1c, BMI, and use of antihyperglycemic medications did not correlate with PFS in our cohort of patients with Stage I EEC, while the presence of diabetic neuropathy was associated with a higher risk of recurrence. These results highlight importance of evaluating diabetes severity and molecular subtype in endometrial cancer patients.
