Between 1990 and 2002 139 patients with endometrial carcinoma underwent post-operative vaginal vault HDR-brachytherapy in curative intent as sole adjuvant treatment after surgery. Median follow-up was 8.6 years. At 10 years, overall survival was 68%, disease-specific survival 92%. 5 and 10 year-actuarial vaginal control was 99%, actuarial pelvic control 96% and 10 year-disease-free survival 91%. The treatment was well tolerated and can be recommended as it provides an excellent therapeutic ratio in low and intermediate risk endometrioid adenocarcinoma.
