ABSTRACT
A retrospective review was undertaken of the medical records of 52 women with stage II carcinoma of the endometrium who received adjuvant radiotherapy following surgery. The information was obtained from medical notes and a hospital database. Actuarial disease-free survival was 68% at 5 years for those women with stage IIA disease, and 70% at 5 years for those women with stage IIB disease. 6 of the women (11.5%) had side effects from treatment. In contrast to the literature, the only statistically significant prognostic factor in this study was histological differentiation; patients with poorly differentiated tumours fared worse (p = 0.05). This may indicate that a greater number than 52 women is needed to demonstrate weaker prognostic factors such as substage. A larger review is being undertaken of the remaining women recorded on the database, with stage I, III and IV disease.
