[Results of the treatment of endometrial carcinoma (author's transl)]

The increased incidence of endometrial carcinoma in Slovenia from 1961 to 1970 is presented, as well as the five-year survival of patients treated from 1946 to 1949 and from 1965 to 1972. A retrograde analysis is made of 288 patients, of the structure of their carcinomatous stages, their age, mode of treatment, and their survival in relation to the kind of treatment, the development of the cancer, its histological structure, and the magnitude of changes in regional lymph nodes. Novak's merit for the use of the so-called old Wertheim in the surgery of endometrial carcinoma is particularly pointed out.
