الوصف: Background: Uterine sarcomas (US) constitute a rare heterogeneous group of gynecological malignancies with aggressive characteristics and poor prognosis. Identifying the histopathological factors that determine the prognosis of the tumor and efficacy of various treatment modalities provides a reliable source for efficient treatment of affected patients. This study presents our 11-year experience with US in the south of Iran. Methods: Medical records of 42 patients (2001-2012) with endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS), leiomyosarcoma (LMS), and malignant mixed Müllerian tumor (MMMT) were investigated. Hazard ratio (HR) and 2- and 5-year survival of patients were analyzed based on the patients’ age, histopathological characteristics (tumor type, stage, necrosis, and mitotic index), and treatment modalities. Results: Twenty-four patients survived with median follow-up of 42.5 months; 18 died within 17 months, and 52.4% had recurrence, of whom 12 died. Two- and five-year survival rate was 78.6% and 61.9%, respectively, longest for ESS and shortest for MMMT. Higher age, tumor stage, necrosis, and mitotic index increased the HR of mortality. Radiotherapy resulted in a better survival, compared with chemotherapy alone or combined with radiotherapy. Conclusion: Although ESS had the best prognosis, MMMT was the most aggressive tumor with the shortest survival time. Histological type of the tumor, staging, tumor necrosis, and mitotic index had prognostic roles. Adjuvant radiotherapy resulted in a better survival, compared with surgery alone in early stage.
