This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows:

To evaluate the role of adjuvant radiotherapy and/or systemic chemotherapy in the management of uterine carcinosarcoma.

Specifically we would wish to address the following questions.

  • Is adjuvant radiotherapy and/or systemic chemotherapy more effective than surgery alone in improving survival?
  • Is adjuvant radiotherapy and/or systemic chemotherapy more effective than surgery alone in delaying recurrence?
  • Is adjuvant radiotherapy and/or systemic chemotherapy acceptable?
