Carcinoma of the Corpus Uteri

, M.D.
Pages 539-545 | Published online: 18 Apr 2016
 

Abstract

Prognosis in carcinoma of the corpus uteri depends on proper selection of patients for irradiation and surgery.

A new classification of tumors emphasizes accurate appraisal of the extent of the disease. Staging of the carcinoma follows a fractional curettage. Myometrial involvement and the microscopic degree of differentiation of tumor are important considerations in prognosis.

When the tumor involves the cervix, irradiation or radical surgery, or both, is indicated. Irradiation administered before hysterectomy markedly improves the prognosis in undifferentiated carcinoma.
