Endometrial carcinoma in the Sardinian population

Eur J Gynaecol Oncol. 1990;11(6):461-3.

Abstract

The biological and clinical characteristics of endometrial carcinoma in Sardinia were examined, with particular regard to the very high incidence (42.7/100,000 age-selected women) of this neoplasia in this Island. The use of post-surgical Radiotherapy on the basis of the protocols of integrated therapies allowed us to reduce the incidence of relapses in these last few years, with an evident increase in survival.
