Abstract
Early-stage endometrial carcinomas should be treated by total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. In a small subset of patients, who wish to have children, conservative treatment (hormonal therapy) could be considered. The most effective agents for palliation of advanced disease are doxorubicin plus cisplatin.
