I'm looking for references on prognostic factors that predict recurrence site in endometrial carcinoma. Preferably review articles but all studies are welcome. I've found many studies on prognostic factors for survival after a recurrence but very few that look into factors that could predict recurrence site already at the time of diagnosis. I'm interested in genetic, histopathologic, hormonal, you name it!
This could be a good starting point. Here are reported articles on the problem from different points of view.

For whoever follows this question, here are a few references I found after consulting a proper librarian. Those guys are gravely under-appreciated!
