| Popis: | From 1979 to 1978, 345 patients with endometrial carcinoma were treated at the Medical College of Virginia. Twenty-three of these were clear cell carcinoma (6.6%). Previous reports indicate a poor prognosis with this histological entity. In this series no differences were noticed between clear cell carcinoma and classical adenocarcinoma with regard to variables such as age, race, stage at presentation or response to treatment. Clear cell carcinoma is a distinct histological entity and does not appear to be different than classical adenocarcinoma in its behavior and response to therapy. It is recommended that these tumors be managed by a combination of surgery and radiotherapy. |
