Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-opherectomy with pelvic and lower para-aortic lymphadenectomy to all patients included in the study from both groups. Histopathological examinations were done to all the specimen from both groups to confirm diagnosis of type 1 endometrial cancer, depth of myometrial invasion, pathological grading and metastasis to the regional lymph nodes.Results: Considering regional lymph nodes metastasis in both groups, there is a statistical difference between group I and group II in relation to regional lymph nodes metastasis as group II (cases with deep myometrial invasion) are associated with more regional lymph nodes metastasis (P= 0.0001)).Conclusion: Deep myometrial invasion in type 1 endometrial cancer is associated with significant increase in regional lymph nodes metastases. %U https://www.jogcr.com/article_697412_b3f4ebdc9a8d1ccb030f4340b10ba2ef.pdf
