Outline

This is a randomized, double blind study. Patients are stratified according to stage of endometrial cancer (IA vs IB/IC vs II). Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms:

• Arm I: Patients receive oral conjugated estrogens (Premarin) daily for 3 years.
• Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo daily for 3 years.

Patients are followed every 6 months for 3 years and then annually for 2 years.
