patterns of failure were significantly altered by nearly consistent control of disease within irradiated areas. These findings suggest that an integrated program of surgery, radiation therapy and possibly chemotherapy can influence the evolution of uterine sarcomas and possibly improve the survival of such patients.

MANAGEMENT OF ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE ENDOMETRIUM James Easley, M.D., Alan L. Kaplan, M.D., Raymond H. Kaufman, M.D. Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas

From January 1968 through December 1978, a total of 311 private patients with adenocarcinoma of the endometrium were managed at the Baylor College of Medicine affiliated hospitals. During this period of time, the treatment protocol was as follows: State IA Gl--0ne 72-hour intracavitary radium application, conservative hysterectomy. In selected'cases, conservative hysterectomy alone. Stage IA GP--0ne 72-hour intracavitary radium application, conservative hysterectomy. r whole pelvis external irradiation, one Stage IA 63 and al1 IB’s--4000 48-hour radium application, consewative hysterectomy. Stage 11--4000 r whole pelvis external irradiation, one 72-hour radium application, conservative hysterectomy. Stage 111 and IV--1ndividualitation. Included in this group of patients were nineteen cases of adenosquamous carcinoma and three cases of clear-cel1 adenocarcinoma. There were only eight adenoacanthomas. Our results with this treatment program wil1 be presented. The morbidity was quite low. As would be expected, the patients with well-differentiated lesions had high survival figures. Interestingly, the patients with Our results with the clinic adenosquamous carcinoma have done quite well. patients wil1 be reported at a later date.
