Abstract

A prospective study was reported evaluating the effectiveness of preoperative radiation focused on the vaginal apex followed immediately by abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy as a means of therapy for Stage I adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. Eighty-three consecutive patients over a 53/4-yr span of time were studied. This technique resulted in a predicted 5-yr survival of 91.8%. Complications were low and patient acceptance excellent. The precise dosages and schedules were discussed in detail.
