Summary
Brief summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. It is not yet
known whether radiation therapy is more effective than observation only after sugery in
treating endometrial cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy to see how well it
works compared to observation only in treating patients with stage I or stage II endometrial
cancer who have undergone hysterectomy and oophorectomy.
