Multicenter StudyOutcome after combined modality treatment for uterine papillary serous carcinoma: a study by the Rare Cancer Network (RCN).
Uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) is a rare subtype of endometrial carcinoma, characterized by a poor outcome. We sought to better analyze the effect of surgery and adjuvant therapies on this disease. ⋯ UPSC harbours a moderate prognosis, with age, stage and histology as significant prognosticators. Conservative surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and pelvic radiotherapy can be suggested as an appropriate treatment approach for patients treated with curative intent.
