Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in
chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or

chemotherapy in treating patients with cancer of the uterus.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy to see how well it
works compared to combination chemotherapy in treating patients with cancer of the uterus.
