title: [Results in the treatment of 82 cases of endometrial cancer. Surgical staging vs clinical staging].
abstract: Eighty two cases of endometrial carcinoma were treated from 1971 to 1994. From them twelve patients were clinically staged and 70 were staged according to 1989 FIGO classification. Thirty five patients received complementary total radiation therapy to the abdomen, pelvis and intravaginal depending on the depth of miometrial invasion, positivity of peritoneal cytology or extrauterine involvement. Thirty two patients presented with carcinoma localized to the endometrial layer received no complementary treatment. Three patients were under exploratory laparotomy with surgical non curative resection due to massive abdominal tumor invasion. The follow up revealed 59 patients free of disease (77.6%). The relapse date was 22.3%. The relapse in the clinically staged patients (n = 12) was 41.6%. The mortality rate was 15.8%.
