ABSTRACT

The incidence of malignancy of the uterine corpus following radiation therapy for carcinoma of the cervix is rare. The prognosis is generally poor due to failure of early diagnosis, deep mvometrial invasion and low grade differentiation. We report two cases of adenocarcinoma of the uterine corpus following irradiation for cervical carcinoma and its literatures are briefly reviewed.
