Uterine sarcomas. A retrospective study of 17 cases

Eur J Gynaecol Oncol. 1988;9(6):497-501.

Abstract

Seventeen documented cases of uterine sarcoma were studied in an effort to establish the relationship between prognostic factors and patients' survival. The analysis of prognostic factors showed that there was a significant difference in survival between patients with stages I and II tumors and those with more advanced lesions. It has been also noted that prognosis was worse in patients with history of previous abortions and in patients who had abdominal or pelvic pain.
