The Author has examined the survival rates of 1543 cases of corpus uteri cancer, comparing the patients with and without pre-operative adjuvant treatment. Pre-operative treatment consisted of irradiation therapy and also in combined chemohormonal-radiotherapy. The results also referred to the type of radiotherapy and to the clinical background of patients (older age, severe general somatic diseases). The conclusions of this study underline the benefits of pre-operative irradiation therapy.
