Abstract

The operative specimens of 216 patients who underwent operation for adenocarcinoma of the endometrium stage I and stage II were thoroughly examined. It was found that measuring the maximal depth of infiltration of the carcinoma in relation to the thickness of the uterine wall and other morphological criteria of the tumours such as tumour grading, and carcinomatous lymphangiosis have greater prognostic value than clinical staging and the length of the uterine cavity to the sound. In contradistinction to other observations we found that patients with a short length of the uterus had more often recurrences and distant metastases than patients with a long uterine length to the sound.
