Cases of stage I endometrial carcinoma treated at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, New York, (USA) between 1966 and 1980 were evaluated with regard to clinical parameters, surgicopathologic findings, treatment modalities and survival. Four factors significantly influenced survival: tumor grade, patient's age, uterine size and addition of postoperative external radiotherapy in cases of significant myometrial invasion or a poorly differentiated lesion. No deaths or significant morbidity resulted from the use of adjuvant whole pelvic radiation.
