Uterine carcinosarcomas: incidence and trends in management and survival.
Our study's aim was to determine the incidence of uterine sarcomas in New York City (NYC) and evaluate trends in frequency, treatment, and survival of carcinosarcomas in two Brooklyn hospitals. Population-based cancer registry data for 1976-1985 were used to calculate the incidence of uterine sarcomas in NYC women. Medical records and histology slides of carcinosarcomas at two central Brooklyn hospitals from 1960 to 1995 were reviewed. ⋯ The incidence of uterine sarcomas in black women was twice that in white women. Surgical staging including omentectomy is recommended in the management of carcinosarcomas. Modern medical care may have improved the short-term prognosis of carcinosarcomas.
