The optimal treatment for endometrial carcinoma is radical hysterectomy and hemivaginectomy with pre-operative caesium sources in the uterus and vaginal vault. Block pelvic lymphadenectomy is unsatisfactory, and gland extension is best treated by radiotherapy to the lateral pelvic and para-aortic fields. Surgery has a definite place in the treatment of advanced cases.
