Papillary serous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium: a clinicopathologic study of 19 cases.
Survival in 19 patients with papillary serous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium treated at the University of Vermont during the period 1960-1987 was significantly worse than that for 360 patients with other types of endometrial cancer. Deaths were associated with extrauterine spread and deep myometrial invasion detected at the time of surgery. Two patients without myometrial invasion and with extrauterine spread who also died may have developed synchronous peritoneal serous carcinoma.
