Summary:Uterine carcinoma of papillary serous histology (UPSC) is an aggressive tumor with a relatively poor overall survival. Few randomized clinical trials directed toward uterine cancer have focused specifically on stage I disease of the papillary serous variant, leaving the best treatment for these women undefined.
