[Evaluation of various factors influencing the choice of therapy and the prognosis of the uterine corpus carcinoma].
Results are reported from the treatment of a group comprising 246 women with carcinoma of the uterine corpus. Of these, 126 patients were treated surgically and afterwards irradiated, whereas 120 were exposed to radiation methods only. The five-year survival rate without recurrence was 73,8% of the surgically treated cases and 37,7% of the patients who were only irradiated. It has to be noted, however, that the two groups are hardly comparable, since the second group mostly consisted of inoperable cases in advanced stages and in a bad general state. Postoperative radiotherapy proved very useful. The reexamination of this group revealed considerable diminution of recurrences and vaginal metastases. Only in three (2,4%) out of 126 patients irradiated after surgical treatment metastases to the vagina were found later on.
