N2 - Introduction: Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is a frequent cancer in developed countries, but with evidence for discrepant clinical management. Under the auspices of the Italian Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SIOG), we conducted a survey among Italian centers with ≥20 surgeries for gynecological cancer per year, trying to depict a reliable picture of EC management in our country. Methods: The questionnaire focused on preoperative/surgical staging and adjuvant treatment. Of the 283 questionnaires delivered, 35% were sent back. Results: Diagnostic hysteroscopy is performed in 78% of centers. In clinical stage I, 52% adopt a laparotomic access, 15% totally laparoscopic, 9% laparoscopic/vaginal, 2% vaginal, 22% tailored approach. Elective use of laparoscopy significantly differs between institutions (. p
