title: Endometrial carcinoma, results of combined surgery and radiotherapy treatment of 93 patients (1979-1984).
abstract: A retrospective analysis was done on 93 cases with clinical stage I and II endometrial carcinoma. All patients in this series were treated by surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. Five-year survival reached 67%. No vaginal or vault recurrences were seen. Grade, stage and depth of myometrial invasion were prognostic parameters for survival, whereas 'age' did not show correlation with survival. Postoperative radiotherapy was performed by two different protocols, one of which appeared to be allied with significantly less late toxicity than the other.
