Description
Summary:The clinical data of 22 patients with clear cell adenocarcinoma of the endometrium treated at the University of North Carolina Memorial Hospital are reported. In addition, the data with particular reference to survival, site of recurrence, and treatment are combined with information from two previous reports of clear cell adenocarcinoma of the endometrium to better define survival. It is noted that the patients with clear cell adenocarcinoma of the endometrium were older and had an overall poorer survival than is reported for adenocarcinoma of the endometrium (nonclear cell). Patients with Stage I clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium, however, had a similar five‐year survival to Stage I adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. The paper also examines treatment methods and correlates these with site of recurrence as well as survival.
