Material and Methods: Among 1880 patients with non-advanced endometrial cancer, treated in Center of Oncology, Cracow Branch between 1979 and 2005, brain metastases were the first sign of treatment failure in 12(0,6%). The single lesions were found in 7(58,3%) patients and multiples ones in 5(41,7%) patients. Four cases with single metastasis were treated surgically with adjuvant external beam radiotherapy XRT (2 patients) or with stereotactic radiotherapy (2 patients). The remainder patients were treated with palliative XRT and hormonotherapy (oral medroksyprogesteron).
