  CONCLUSIONS
  Mesenchymal and mixed tumors of uterus are characterized by several prognostic factors as well. Except clinical prognostic variables, histopathological and molecular biological factors may play a role. The most important prognostic significance carry stage of disease, age and performance status of patient and sufficient therapy, especially surgery. In particular tumors some other prognostic factors are recognized. Except cases in really early stage of disease there is usually short interval between end of primary therapy and tumor recurrence. With the exception of endometrial stromal sarcoma, prognosis of these tumors remains very poor.
