A statistical study of cancer of the corpus uteri

1.1. Nine hundred fifty-seven cases of corpus cancer are considered and end results are given for the entire group and for each clinical classification.2.2. It is definitely shown that total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy following preoperative radiation produce the best cure rate.3.3. Various clinical classifications are discussed, none of which seems entirely satisfactory and it is thought that some clinical classification employing all of the factors which influence the end results should be adopted, so that the end results from the various clinics could be compared and evaluated.4.4. Comments are made on the high incidence of diabetes, overweight, late menopause, and sterility among corpus cancer patients, and the low incidence of corpus cancer among Jewish and Negro women.
