Abstract
Approximately 6000 endometrial cancer death occurs annually worldwide, predominantly noticed in postmenopausal women. The current diagnostic and therapeutic research trials for endometrial carcinoma are giving new clues to select best postoperative adjuvant treatment especially in high risk disease. Transvaginal ultrasound and hysteroscopy endometrial biopsies are tending to replace the dilation and curettage in establishing a diagnosis. The standard primary treatment of endometrial carcinoma is surgery but to select best adjuvant therapy, the risk of disease recurrence is determined by certain pathological factors and also by surgical stage. The most commonly used adjuvant therapy is radiation therapy but satisfactory results have not been noticed in high-risk endometrial carcinoma. On the basis of review of current research guidelines it is indicated that hormonal or chemotherapeutic agents must be added with radiation therapy to improve prognosis and efficacy in endometrial carcinoma after surgery.
