[Histology and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma].
The relationship between the histology and prognosis has been analyzed, using 608 surgically removed uterus with endometrial carcinoma. Among the uterus studied, 506 cases (92%) were determined as being an adenocarcinoma, endometrial type, including adenoacanthomas. This type of carcinoma showed a favourable postoperative survival rate (83.3%), when compared to serous adenocarcinomas (65.8%), clear cell (mesonephroid) adenocarcinomas (32.4%), and adenosquamous carcinomas (63.7%). Among adenocarcinomas of the endometrial type, these with a well differentiated variant showed a better prognosis than others. The squamous component of the adenoacanthoma was found to play no significant role in the prognosis.
