Abstract

Endometrial cancers with FIGO IIIC metastases to the para-aortic lymph node occur in a small percentage of patients, but these patients have a poor prognosis applies to <20% of patients with endometrial cancer. Researcher are looking for an effective loco-regional treatment that can effect better local control and longer survival and indicates that the optimal therapeutic treatment is combined treatment, including the use of complementary radiotherapy for the so-called Extended Field Radiotherapy (ERT) areas extending beyond the pelvic area around the regional aortic lymph nodes.
