: The paper discusses the results of treatment of endometrial cancer patients with high energy radiation (76 cases). Three-year survival rate was 78.3%. A combination of radiation and hormonotherapy was given to 34 cases. The control group (not receiving 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate treatment) included 42. Survival rate for hormonotherapy group was higher than in controls (84.1 and 74.8%, respectively). Hormonal treatment was the most effective in patients with early stages of cancer and well- and moderately-differentiated tumors.
