Abstract

- A total of 2090 patients with endometrial carcinoma were followed-up for at least five years. The treatment modalities, as well as the results of treatment, regarding 272 patients with disease relapse are presented. The results are not encouraging. We found no statistically significant difference regarding overall survival, when the patients were divided according to initial stage or ploidy status. There was also no significant difference between overall survival and the mode of treatment. 108 out of 272 patients with relapse died of their disease. Regarding patients in stage I-II we present the survival for every studied year, where we compared those with more than one site of metastasis (n=108), more than one metastasis (n=59), or no relapse at all (n=1289) with an age-corrected Swedish female population. We found that the vast majority of patients did not die from their cancer-related illnesses, and also found an increased death-rate among those with cancer without relapse, compared to those without cancer (20% compared to 14%, 5 year follow-up). We conclude that the majority of patients would benefit from an increased effort to cure other illnesses rather than concentrating on cancer treatment alone.
