During the period 1961-1971, 177 surgical candidates with clinical Stage I adenocarcinoma of the endometrium were treated. The pattern of recurrence according to the initial mode of treatment and the high risk factors predisposing to recurrence are presented. The incidence of vaginal vault recurrence was reduced from 7.4% with surgery to 1.2% by the use of adjunctive radiotherapy. Management of recurrence according to site is outlined. The local control rate for patients with local recurrence was 44% and the five-year survival rate after recurrence was 33%.
