[Therapeutic results in uterine sarcoma (1955-1985)]

This is a retrospective analysis of prognostic factors and treatment outcomes in 126 uterine sarcoma cases from the period of 1955 to 1985 inclusively. Up to now there lacks unanimity and extensive scientific based therapeutic concept; and treatment results could not be improved despite better operative and radiation therapy possibilities. From the examined charts and materials, the five year survival rate achieved for all stages is 31%. The mean age of the patients is 57.9 years and significant prognostic differences will be appreciated only in relation to the clinical stages at the commencement of therapy and also after local total operative intervention (stages I and II) in conjunction with postoperative radiation therapy. The difference in course in relation to the histologic tumour type can not be statistically verified.
