| Description | An unselected material of endometrial carcinoma from the northern part of Sweden, treated during the years 1963–1982 is presented. the material comprises 1 114 patients treated almost uniformly. With few exceptions the patients received primary irradiation, usually with radium packing according to a modified Heyman method. Operable patients underwent total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy six weeks after the radiation treatment. Patients with contraindications to surgery had a curettage three months after radiation treatment and if cancer was still present surgery was considered. the 5-year survival rate in stage 1 treated with irradiation and surgery was 91 %, and after correction for intercurrent death 93 %. the 5-year survival rate in stage 1 as a whole was 82 % and corrected for intercurrent death 90%. the survival rate in the whole material was 76% and after correction for intercurrent death 84%. |
