Abstract
Patients with endometrial carcinoma were classified in one of three categories for each factor: histologic differentiation, uterine size, myometriai invasion, cervical involvement, metastasis, and patient age. Each item was given a numerical value, and the sum of the six items for each patient gave a score. From 1950-65 372 patients who were treated for endometrial carcinoma at Roswell Park Memorial Institute were evaluated. The 5-year survival rate was 0 for those with the highest score and 100% for those with the lowest The survival rate for those with in-between scores was regularly and progressively distributed.
