| Abstract: | Purpose: Uterine sarcomas are rare malignant tumours with a worse prognosis than endometrial carcinomas.This retrospective study was performed to determine the clinical and histologic characteristics, treatment, and outcomes in uterine sarcoma patients treated at our hospital over a 16-year period. Methods: Twenty-two patients (median age, 60.5 years) with uterine sarcomas were treated at our facility between 1996 and 2011. Information was collected from hospital and follow-up records and from the Cancer Registry of Slovenia. All tumours were classified according to the new FIGO classification for uterine sarcomas. Results: The majority of the patients presented with postmenopausal bleeding. The most common histologic subtype was leiomyosarcoma (50%), followed by carcinosarcoma (40.9%), and endometrial stromal sarcoma (9.1%). All of the patients were initially treated surgically, 21 by laparotomy and 1 laparoscopically. Eight patients were treated with postoperativeradiotherapy and 4 patients received postoperativechemotherapy. Disease progression was observed in 8 of17 patients who had sufficient followup information forthis analysis. The 5-year overall survival was 44 %.Conclusion: The overall survival of patients treated for uterine sarcomas in our study was comparatively good. Due to the small number and heterogeneity of the patients, larger multicentre trials are needed for a reliable analysis of factors influencing patient survival. |
