A comparison of treatment protocols for endometrial carcinoma is presented. Valid conclusions regarding optimum approach are virtually precluded because of variability of such factors as clinical staging, incidence of vaginal metastases, patient selection, and histologic grade. While hysterectomy is the established definitive treatement, the superiority of adjuvant irradiation can be demonstrated only by randomized prospective studies.
