Summary
The survival and recurrence-free rates of 355 cases of carcinoma of the endometrium treated at St. Thomas' Hospital have been analysed with reference to the stage of the tumour, its histological type, the age of the patient, and the treatment.
The five-year survival rate was 70.0 per cent and the ten-year survival rate 63.4 per cent.
Simple total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oöphorectomy in Stage I cases resulted in a ten-year survival rate of 75-8 per cent. In this series Wertheim's hysterectomy did not improve the survival or recurrence-free rate. The pelvic lymph node involvement rate in those cases treated by Wertheim's hysterectomy was low.
