[Uterine sarcoma. Analytic study of 37 cases].

The lack of uniformity in the nomenclature of the uterine sarcomas, it have contributed to a variety and variability of classifications. Fortunately the sarcomas of uterus are rare. The incidence of this tumor is of 3-5% of all the uterine cancers or of 1.7/100,000 women of 20 years or more. The clinical presentation of these tumors is diverse could come bleed uterine abnormal, abdominal pain, pelvic mass, discharge or cervix prominent mass. Clinical discoveries associated with exist the sarcomas how they are the obesity and high blood pressure in a 30% of the patients it are also observed antecedents of pelvic radiation in a 5-10% of the cases. The genomic alterations that is reported the chromosomes in the literature is associated with 1, 7 11 playing an important paper in the initiation or progression of the sarcomas. We was carried out a retrospective analysis of 37 cases of uterine sarcoma managed in the National Institute of Cancerology at one time of 5 years. Being that the leiomiosarcomas comes in the 51.3% of the cases, followed by the stromal sarcoma, bleed uterine abnormal it was the clinical fact of high importance, detecting these patients in Ia and IIa stadiums predominantly. We observed an increment in the incidence of the uterine sarcoma in patients of 40 years or more. 17 patients were managed exclusively with surgery, 17 patients with surgery and radiotherapy and 5 patients with surgery and chemotherapy (2 patients were managed with surgery + radiotherapy + chemotherapy). The index of failure was from the 45.1% to two years in general form, coming metastasic illness in lung, liver and breast mainly. In conclusion, the adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy to the hysterectomy doesn't increase the index of survivor in the several subtype of uterine sarcomas.
