Recurrences and metastases in carcinoma of the uterine body correlated to the size and localization of the primary tumor.
Hysterography was used for judging the size and location of the primary tumor in 475 patients with stage I carcinoma of the uterine body. No increased frequency of recurrence and metastases was noted in patients where the tumor involved the uterine cervix. Large tumors, however, were accompanied by an increased frequency of recurrences, metastases in the pelvic nodes and remote metastases.
