Treatment of uterine sarcoma

Abstract: We conclude that postoperative radiotherapy in our series of patients diagnosed with uterine sarcoma has an impact on locoregional and disease-free progression intervals (LRFI, DFI) and overall survival (OS). The most important prognostic factor is the extend of the disease (stage). Stage I patients have a significantly better survival.

“…The 5-year survival rate for Stage I uterine LMS is approximately 50%–70%, but the rate becomes dismal, 0%–22%, in the setting of advanced disease. 6,12,13,16,18,23,26 Although local control after hysterectomy is good, many patients die of disease at a distant site. The reported risk of recurrence is relatively high, with rates ranging from 45% to 73%.…”
