One hundred and six patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma, aged over 70 years, admitted to Gynaecologic Oncological department of Gynecology and Obstetrics Institute of Padua University, from 1/01/1974 to 31/12/1994, were studied. The life expectancy of these women was good, with a personalized abdominal or vaginal surgery, alone with or without lymphadenectomy, or, in advanced stages, associated with integrated therapies. In our case series an increasing frequency of this neoplasia in elderly women appears significant.
