title: Stage I endometrial adenocarcinoma: treatment results in 835 patients.
abstract: A 16-year review of 835 patients with Stage I adenocarcinoma of the uterus revealed histologic grade and depth of myometrial invasion to be salient prognostic factors. Sixteen percent of patients developed recurrent disease and despite aggressive treatment, only 10% of these survived. Preoperative or postoperative radium decreased the incidence of vault recurrence.
