[Therapy and healing results in corpus cancer (1954-1968)]

It is reported on the results of the therapy and healing of 603 female patients, who suffered from carcinoma corporis uteri and were treated in the period from 1954 to 1968. Operation with following irradiation was and is still the method of choice. In primary radiotherapy it is prefered applying endo-cavernous contact therapy in combination with percutaneous irradiation. The absolute healing rate was 60.4 per cent. But if the cases are evaluated, it will become evident that the total healing rate can only give evidence to a certain extent. Thus, stagerelated and relative healing should be considered much more important.
