The purpose of this paper is to retrospectively analyze the clinical and pathological data of 118 cases of uterine carcinosarcoma. Prognostic factors and management were evaluated. chi 2 and log-rank tests were performed. Surgical stage at time of surgery was the most important prognostic factor (P < 0.0001); in stage I-II disease depth of myometrial invasion and lymphatic/vascular space involvement were significantly related to outcome, whereas other factors were not useful. In stage I-II patients postoperative radiation did not improve 5-year disease-free survival. Survival curves in patients with advanced disease treated with cisplatin-containing regimens or with doxorubicin (without cisplatin)-containing regimens were overlapping.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to retrospectively analyze the clinical and pathological data of 118 cases of uterine carcinosarcoma. Prognostic factors and management were evaluated. chi 2 and log-rank tests were performed. Surgical stage at time of surgery was the most important prognostic factor (P < 0.0001); in stage I-II disease depth of myometrial invasion and lymphatic/vascular space involvement were significantly related to outcome, whereas other factors were not useful. In stage I-II patients postoperative radiation did not improve 5-year disease-free survival. Survival curves in patients with advanced disease treated with cisplatin-containing regimens or with doxorubicin (without cisplatin)-containing regimens were overlapping.
