Materials and Methods: Clinicopathological features were compared between all grades of EC and HGSC, and between HGSC and either grade 1/2 or grade 3 EC. Results: Sixty-five patients with EC and 214 with HGSC were identified. Among patients with EC, 56 displayed 1/2 EC and nine had grade 3 EC. The progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) survival of patients with grade 1/2 EC were better than of those of patients with HGSC; however, PFS and OS did not statistically differ between patients with grade 3 EC and those with HGSC. Grade 1/2 EC, but not grade 3, was a better prognostic factor compared with HGSC. Conclusion: A grading system for EC would be beneficial for the accurate prognosis of ovarian cancer.
