Summary:From 24 Patients which were treated for uterine sarcomas during 1970-1977, 10 patients had a leiomyosarcoma, 6 an endometrial stromal sarcoma, and 8 a mixed mesodermal sarcoma. Surgical treatment was performed in 15 cases, and in 13 cases was followed by postoperative radiation. Eight patients were treated primarily by combined radium and cobalt 60 radiation therapy. Seventeen of 24 patients under control died, 15 of these within on year after onset of therapy. Regarding the histological patterns of sarcomas, both mitotic activity and vascular invasion was without significance in subsequent outcome.
