Overall Results
Median follow-up of surviving patients 68 months.
The 24-month cumulative incidence of recurrence
(CIR) rate was 3% in the RT group and 12 % in the
no additional therapy group.
13 of the 18 loco-regional recurrences in the NAT
arm were in the vaginal vault (72%)
Overall Results
CIR at 24 months of isolated local (vagina or pelvic)
1.6% versus 7.4%
48 month Kaplan-Meier estimates for survival
86% in the NAT group, 92 % in RT group (p=0.55).
The GI, GU, Cutaneous and Hematological side
effects were significantly higher in the RT group.

Objectives:
Primary to determine the transportability
of pelvic IMRT for patients with endometrial
carcinoma to a multi-institutional setting.
Secondary
To assess adverse events related to this
regimen.
To test the hypothesis that there is a reduction
in short-term bowel injury with this regimen
compared to standard treatments.
To estimate the rates of local-regional control,
distant metastasis, disease-free and overall
survival.

TIME-C: Objectives
Primary Objective:
oTo determine if acute gastrointestinal toxicity is reduced with IMRT
using patient reported measure of toxicity
Secondary Objective:
oTo determine if acute grade 2 gastrointestinal toxicity (CTCAE v. 3.0) is
reduced with IMRT compared to conventional WPRT.
oTo determine if acute grade 3+ hematologic toxicity (CTCAE v. 3.0) is
reduced with IMRT compared to conventional WPRT.
oTo determine if acute urinary toxicity is reduced with IMRT using a
patient reported measure of toxicity.
oTo assess the impact of pelvic IMRT on quality of life using patient
reported outcomes.

PreVBT VL 8.7cm (SD + 1.51)
PostVBT VL 8.8cm (SD + 1.58)
Dilator compliance was variable at 6mos:

ASTEC Tx Randomization
Because women were randomized to adjuvant
radiotherapy without regard to the results of
the pelvic lymph node dissection:
This is a study of the surgical benefit to removing
lymph nodes.
It does not answer the question of whether
detecting occult nodal metastasis in low and
intermediate risk patients better directs adjuvant
tx and thus improves survival.

Conclusions
RT continues to play an important role in endometrial
cancer
Its optimal role is still evolving
Attention turning to combined modality approaches in
high risk patients following surgery
Novel approaches, notably IMRT and in the future IGRT,
should help improve the quality and delivery of RT in
these women.
