[Prognostic elements of cancer of the endometrium. Therapeutic deductions].
The authors report a series of 120 cancers of the endometrium treated between 1970 and 1985 included. Of all "morphological" factors, the degree of tumor differentiation is the one which has the greatest predictive value for the prognosis. The general condition of the patient have, stricto sensu, a very significant influence on the prognosis of cancer. The Wertheim's procedure offer results which are far superior to those of a simple hysterectomy. It must be favored in all patients who can withstand it. In patients with poor general condition, perform a simple total vaginal hysterectomy. This will be performed with all the less reserve as the tumor was well differentiated.
