10. All of the tumor grades of the stage Ⅰb cancers were generally higher than
those of the Stage Ⅰa cancers, and the higher the tumor grades, the deeper were
cancer invasion into myometrium.
11. Correlation between depth of uterine cavity and myometrial invasion was that
depth greater than 8cm were associated with deeper myometrial invasion than that
less than 8cm, and it was statistically significant.
12. The modality of treatment of the disease showed; surgery alone 24%, surgery
and radiation therapy 38%, and only radiation therapy 26%. There was one case with
surgery followed by combination chemotherapy.
13. The present state of the patients showed; six in stage Ⅰa, eight in stage
Ⅰb and one in stage Ⅱ were alive, but the others were unknown.

Between January, 1966 and June, 1986, total of 50 patients with endometrial carcinoma admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Yonsei
University College of Medicine were retrospectively analysed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the patients clinical characteristics and the histopathology as to whether or not there were certain correlation.
The results were as follows:
1. There was an increasing tendency of endometrial carcinoma during 5 year time interval between January, 1966 to June, 1986.
2. Age distribution of the patients with endometrial cancer showed; the twenties 2%, thirties 12%, fourties 18%, fifties 42%, sixties 22%, and seventies 4%.
3. The mean age of menarche of the patients was 15.6 years-old, and it was not significantly different from that of average Korean woman.

5. The mean age of menopause of the patients was 47.9 years-old, and it was not significantly different from that of average Korean woman.
6. The parity of the patients showed: nulliparity 22%, primiparity 10%, and multiparity 68%.
7. Distribution of body weight showed; underbody weight 9.7%, normal body weight 41.9%, overweight 29.0%, and obesity 19.4%.
8. According to WHO histopathologicaL classification, The percentage of the adenocarcinoma was 68%, papillary adenocarinoma 12%, adenoacanthoma %, adenosquamous cell carinaoma 6%, and clear cell carcinoma 6%.
9. According to FIGO classification, The stages of the patients were classified as: stage Ⅰ 58%, stage Ⅱ 14%, stage Ⅲ18%, and stage Ⅳ10%.
10. All of the tumor grades of the stage Ⅰb cancers were generally higher than those of the Stage Ⅰa cancers, and the higher the tumor grades, the deeper were cancer invasion into myometrium.
11. Correlation between depth of uterine cavity and myometrial invasion was that depth greater than 8cm were associated with deeper myometrial invasion than that less than 8cm, and it was statistically significant.
12. The modality of treatment of the disease showed; surgery alone 24%, surgery and radiation therapy 38%, and only radiation therapy 26%. There was one case with surgery followed by combination chemotherapy.
