ABSTRACT
130 patients with different stages of endometrial adenocarcinoma were analyzed retrospectively between 1974 and 1984 divided into two groups according to the primary line of treatment whether surgical or radiotherapeutic. Group [A] 54 patients treated by surgery followed by postoperative external irradiation and/or brachytherapy. Group [B] 76 patients primarily treated by radiotherapy due to medical contraindication to surgery, refusal of surgery OF inoperability. Upper vaginal recurrences were significantly reduced by the addition of intracavitary irradiation in both groups. Five year direct survival was 40.0% while at ten years it was 25.3%. Survival was found be influenced by treatment modality, stage, and grade
