[Postoperative radiotherapy of endometrial cancer].
A retrospective study was made of the influence of such factors as the stage, morphological structure, degree of tumor differentiation, time and volume of irradiation in the postoperative period on therapeutic efficacy. Combined therapy was provided to 118 patients with endometrial cancer. The morphological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was made in 117 of them. By the operative findings in 77.9% the tumor infiltrated the endometrium, in 5.1% it affected the cervical canal and in 6.8% the ovaries. A decrease in tumor differentiation was worse for prognosis. The combination of contact and gamma-beam therapy after panhysterectomy for endometrial cancer proves effective, radiation reactions are infrequent (cystitis in 5.1%, rectitis in 6.8% of the patients). Of the 31 patients, 24 have been alive for 6-11 yrs., of the 18 patients, 13 for 5 yrs.
