Uterine sarcoma following adjuvant radiotherapy for rectal carcinoma

Journal Article · · J. Surg. Oncol.; (United States)

The present report describes the first reported case of the development of a uterine carcinosarcoma more than 9 years after preoperative radiotherapy to the midpelvis for rectal carcinoma.
