Abstract
The data on the adjuvant therapy of endometrial cancer (EC) are inconsistent. Recent
studies of this topic such as PORTEC-3, GOG-258 and GOG-249 investigated the value
of adjuvant radiotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy and combined adjuvant chemoradiotherapy
followed by chemotherapy in patients with endometrial cancer and an increased risk
of recurrence. With this statement, the Uterus Committee of the Gynaecological Oncology
Working Group (AGO) wishes therefore to interpret the new data and discuss them against
the background of the new S3 guideline “Diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients
with endometrial cancer”.
Key words
endometrial cancer - adjuvant therapy - chemotherapy - radiotherapy - recurrence
