Hormonal and surgical treatment of endometrial adenocarcinoma

From January 1st 1980 up to December 31st 1986, 93 endometrial adenocarcinomas were treated at the Chair B of the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Full anatomopathological and hormonal data are available for 81 cases on whom diagnostic and therapeutic protocols were applied. In this selected group, positive lymph nodes were shown in 10 cases. Lymph node positivity was compared with miometrial infiltration grade: there were only two cases of lymph nodal positivity among 49 adenocarcinomas in which the invasion was more than 10 mm from the serosa, 8 lymph nodes metastases out of 32 adenocarcinomas with a distance between 10 and 5 mm and with distance less than 5 mm.
