This is an analysis of 136 patients with clinical stage I and II endometrial carcinoma treated with primarily surgery at the Columbia Presbyterian Hospital between 1978 and 1985. There was a minimum three years follow up. Of 136 patients, 28 (21%) died with recurrent cancer. Tumor upstaging, histology, grade, depth of myometrial invasion, peritoneal cytology were of important factors in prognosis. Therefore, a clinically sophisticated study during initial operation and a deliberate planning of adjuvant treatment should further improve the survival rate of early endometrial cancer.
