The Authors evaluated 87 cases of endometrial carcinoma, of whom 65 (74.7%) at pathological stage I. The surgical ratio was (96.5% 84/87 cases), and 31 cases were subjected to adjuvant postsurgical Radiotherapy because of the presence of risk factors. The incidence of relapses resulted complessively in 14.2%, with a NED-survival of 86.1% and an overall survival of 91.9% at the pathological stage I. The Authors emphasise particularly the importance of post-surgical Radiotherapy in the cases at risk, which allowed an important decrease of the incidence of relapses at stage I with regard to previous studies.
