From 1955 to 1974, 294 patients with primary carcinoma of the endometrium were treated by a combination of preoperative irradiation and surgery or by irradiation alone. Of these 294 patients, 12 had biopsy-proven involvement of the cervix. The current FIGO classification was used. The overall 5-year survival was 79%. The 5-year survival for Stage I, II, and III was 83%, 91%, and 40% respectively. The 5-year survival was 88% for operable Stage I carcinoma of the endometrium and 65% for inoperable Stage I. One hundred ninety-six patients with operable Stage I carcinoma of the endometrium received preoperative irradiation followed by total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) and were studied in greater detail. In this group, the incidence of sterilization and the degree of myometrial invasion in the removed uterus were important factors in determining the prognosis. Preoperative radium yielded better results than preoperative external irradiation.
