Radiation therapy and combined chemo-irradiation in advanced and recurrent endometrial carcinoma

The advent of surgical staging for endometrial carcinoma has identified multiple combinations and degrees of various risk factors. Therefore, it is obvious that questions regarding adjuvant treatment in advanced disease must be generally stated and the answers, when available, may not be specifically applicable to individual patients. Hopefully ongoing and future prospective trials will help to resolve questions about the proper role of RT and/or chemo-irradiation and the proper technique and treatment volume when RT is used.
