ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To review the experience in the treatment of low-grade malignant endometrial stromal sarcoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The data of 41 patients with low-grade malignant endometrial stromal sarcoma surgically treated between 1982 and 2004 were reviewed. Statistical analysis was carried out using chi(2) and Kaplan-Meier life table.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of these 41 patients, 24 suffered from irregular vaginal bleeding, and 30 had been diagnosed to have leiomyoma before treatment. Thirty patients but 11 underwent surgical management with uterus removed. Thirty-three patients received postoperative adjuvant therapy including radiation and/or chemotherapy. The 5-year and 10-year actuarial survival was 87. 5% and 77. 8%, respectively. Eighteen patients (43. 9%) developed recurrent disease, most of which in the pelvis. The mean time to recurrence was 31 months (range 6 to 78 months) with the median time of 26 months. The recurrent rate was 66.7% for patients whose ovarian function was reserved versus 37. 5% for those without reservation. Patients who received adjuvant therapy had a lower recurrent rate (30. 3%) than those who did not (87. 5%). The recurrent rate of the patients treated with postoperative adjuvant radiation was 32. 3% (10/31) versus 80% (8/10) for those patients without. The 5-year actuarial survival rate of patients with recurrent disease was 71. 8%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Low-grade malignant endometrial stromal sarcoma has a good prognoses though dwarfed by higher late recurrence after initial treatment. Postoperative adjuvant radiation is helpful to reduce local recurrence. Endometrial stromal sarcoma;</p>
