Abstract

Surgical treatment alone was given to 88 patients with endometrial tumors while 182 patients underwent combined therapy. Three-year survival was 92.1%: 88.5% survived 5 years. With tumor invasion depth down to 10 mm, the method of choice was surgery: 5-year survival rate--89.1%. Postoperative irradiation of the small pelvis was indicated in cases of deep invasion of more than 10 mm. 5-year survival after surgery was 66.7 and combined therapy--76.7%. The end results appeared to depend on site: on sites in the upper two-thirds of the endometrium, 5-year survival after surgery was 90.4%; combined treatment of tumor sitting in the lower third or cervical canal--66.6 and 60.9%, respectively.
