Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known whether receiving radiation therapy or no further therapy after surgery is more effective for cancer of the uterus. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with that of no further therapy in treating patients who have stage I or stage II cancer of the uterus that has been surgically removed.
