The majority of patients (68.5%) had a final diagnosis of EIN. Endometrial cancer (EC) was identified in 11.3% (n = 40) of patients in the final pathology. Advanced age (\u226550 years) (OR = 2.52; 95% CI: [1.27\u20134.96]; p = 0.006) and menopausal status (OR = 2.62; 95% CI: [1.34\u20135.11]; p = 0.004) were significantly associated with an increased risk of EC. Among 263 patients who underwent intraoperative frozen-section assessment, EC was detected in 12.9% (n = 34). The sensitivity and specificity of frozen-section assessment for EC detection were 41.1% and 100%, respectively. The frozen-section assessment failed to identify only one of the seven patients who required staging surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study demonstrates that a preoperative EIN diagnosis carries an 11.3% risk of concurrent EC. Additionally, the likelihood of EC is significantly higher in older and postmenopausal patients. The majority of patients requiring staging surgery were identified by frozen-section assessment. Our findings indicate that frozen-section assessment provides the necessary information for adequate surgical treatment in EIN cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/pore.2025.1612039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,5]],"date-time":"2025-06-05T05:10:13Z","timestamp":1749100213000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Comparison
