Abstract
The role of adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy in the primary treatment of endometrial cancer with a high risk of recurrence has still not been conclusively determined. The results of 3 large randomized controlled studies on different aspects of this issue have been published in full in recent months, and the relevant results are analyzed here.Entities:

| Patients | Treatment | Toxicity | Recurrence | Overall survival | |

PORTEC-3
| Endometrioid EC: | Percutaneous 48.5 Gy ± brachytherapy + 2 × cisplatin 50 mg/m 2 followed by 4 × carboplatin AUC 5 + paclitaxel 175 mg/m 2 versus radiotherapy alone (percutaneous ± brachytherapy) | Acute: 60 vs. 12% neuropathies (≥ grade 2) | Failure-free survival after 5 years: 76.5 vs. 69.1% (adjusted HR: 0.70; p = 0.016) | 5-year OS: 81.4 vs. 76.1% (adjusted HR: 0.7; p = 0.034) |

GOG-258
| Stage III and IV a EC (all histological types), residual tumor < 2 cm or serous/clear cell EC | Percutaneous pelvic irradiation ± paraaortic field ± brachytherapy + 2 × cisplatin 50 mg/m 2 followed by 4 × carboplatin AUC 6 + paclitaxel 175 mg/m 2 vs. 6 × carboplatin AUC 6 + paclitaxel 175 mg/m 2 | Side effects ≥ grade 3 in 58% (chemo/radiotherapy) vs. 63% (chemotherapy alone) | Recurrence-free 5- year survival: 59 vs. 58% (HR: 0.90; 90% CI = 0.74 – 1.10) | Data too immature |

GOG-249
| FIGO I – II: | Vaginal brachytherapy + 3 × carboplatin AUC 6 + paclitaxel 175 mg/m 2 vs. percutaneous irradiation (45 – 51 Gy) ± vaginal brachytherapy | Acute toxicity higher in the brachytherapy/chemotherapy arm Late toxicity the same for both groups | Recurrence-free 5-year survival: | 5-year OS: 85% (brachytherapy + chemotherapy) vs. 87% (percutaneous radiotherapy) |
