Abstract

The first intent upfront treatment of endometrial cancer is surgery. External radiotherapy and brachytherapy; however, are important tools in adjuvant setting, according to histopathological risk factors for locoregional recurrence or in the event of an inoperable tumor. We present the update of the recommendations of the French society of oncological radiotherapy on the indications and technical methods of performing radiotherapy and brachytherapy for endometrial cancer.
