  • Title: Adenosquamous carcinoma of the endometrium. An entity with an inherent poor prognosis?
    Author: Salazar OM, DePapp EW, Bonfiglio TA, Feldstein ML, Rubin P, Rudolph JH.
    Journal: Cancer; 1977 Jul; 40(1):119-30. PubMed ID: 880545.
    Abstract:
    Mixed adenosquamous carcinoma of the endometrium have been reported in recent years to have a steady increase in incidence, extreme aggressiveness, poor responses to radiation therapy, and a low five-year survival (less than 20%). In the present report, 87 mixed carcinoma (MC) are compared with 260 pure adenocarcinomas (AC) and 29 adenoacanthomas (AA). There were no basic differences in incidence, clinical history, responses to radiation therapy, and prognosis for any of these three entities. Adenocarcinomas of the endometrium with and without squamous elements should be regarded and approached as any pure AC. There is an overall tendency for endometrial carcinomas to be at an early stage at diagnosis and the five-year survival regardless of pathologic type, stage, grade, myometrial invasion, and therapy is 80%.
