This study on endometrial carcinoma treatment found that surgery combined with radiotherapy offers better survival rates. Histological subtype, grade, and myometrial invasion significantly impact prognosis and recurrence risk.

Area of Science:

Gynecologic Oncology
Radiation Oncology
Clinical Pathology

Context:

Retrospective analysis of 261 endometrial carcinoma patients treated between 1980-1987.
Majority received surgery with radiotherapy; some received radiotherapy alone.

Purpose:

To analyze treatment outcomes and identify prognostic factors for endometrial carcinoma.
Evaluate the impact of adjuvant irradiation on Stage I patients with deep myometrial invasion.

Summary:

Overall 5-year disease-free survival was 79%. Survival rates varied by stage: 89% (Stage I), 85% (Stage II), 60% (Stage III).
Histological subtype (papillary vs. others) and grade (Grade III vs. I-II) were significant prognosticators.
Deep myometrial invasion in Stage I patients showed improved prognosis with adjuvant irradiation. Recurrence occurred in 19.1% of patients.
