Inoperable Patients with High-Risk Endometrial Cancer (HREC) - Is Brachytherapy Worth the Effort?

Comprehensive surgery, including hysterectomy and node assessment, followed by adjuvant therapy is the standard of care for high-risk (advanced stage/high grade) uterine cancers. For inoperable and unresectable patients, primary radiotherapy (RT), including brachytherapy, is indicated. The Purpose of this study is to report outcomes for patients with HREC (stage III and/or grade 3 disease) treated with primary RT.
