EC patients tend to have worse short\u2010term outcomes. Although fewer lymph nodes were harvested after TC, 5\u2010year overall (OS) ad disease\u2010free survival (DFS) was comparable between the groups. When comparing long\u2010term outcomes stage\u2010by\u2010stage, worse OS and DFS were seen in stage\u2010II. All stage\u2010II patients died of a non\u2010cancer\u2010related cause and recurrence occurred in pT4 TC patients who did not receive adjuvant therapy. The propensity\u2010matched cohort demonstrated similar postoperative morbidity, but more laparoscopic procedures in EC.
