    Abstract:
    From January 1976 to May 1988, 67 patients with an endometrial carcinoma were treated at the Department of Radiology of Tohoku University. Of these, 35 patients, including 19 state III cases, were treated with irradiation alone. The remaining 32 patients, including 14 stage I cases, where treated with irradiation after surgery. The five-year survival rate of all cases, which include cases treated with irradiation alone and cases treated with postoperative irradiation, were 44.5%, 40.8%, and 45.0%, respectively. The local control rate in the irradiation cases alone was 57.1%. It seems that elaborate planning of intracavitary irradiation is essential for improved the prognosis of an unresectable endometria carcinoma.
