The association of curietherapy and surgery in the treatment of endometrium carcinoma.
Results of treatment of the endometrium carcinoma in 138 patients are reported, primarily treated by intra-uterine Curietherapy, and compared with 70 patients first undergoing an hysterectomy followed by radiation therapy. During the first three years the curves for relapse free as for mortality have a similar course. From the third year on, however, patients first undergoing a Curietherapy seem to do better. Compared to other similar series, mentioned in literature, this series of patients gives the same results, which pleads for a prolongation of this method of treatment.
