[Cancer of the endometrium following radiotherapy of cervical cancer].
We describe three cases of women who have been treated with radiotherapy for cervical cancer and then many years later develop cancer of the uterine endometrium. Apparently there may be active endometrium left in the uterus after radiotherapy, for which reason we recommend combined hormone therapy with oestrogen and progesterone.
