Inclusion Criteria
  1. Age greater than or equal to 18 years of age

  2. Karnofsky Performance Status of greater than or equal to 60

  3. FIGO Surgical Stage I, II, and III

  4. Pathologic confirmation of endometrial cancer

  5. Patient status post hysterectomy

  6. Patients with local or regional metastases are eligible for this protocol, but not those with distant metastases

  7. Patients must have adequate:

    • Bone Marrow Function:

      • ANC ≥ 1,500/mcl (< CTCAE v 3.0 Grade 1).

IMRT with chemotherapyIntracavitary vaginal brachytherapyIMRT (upper third of vagina \& para-vaginal tissue and the common, external and internal iliac nodal regions) 160-180 cGy daily fractions for a total dose of 4500-5120 cGy. Once a day treatment four to five days a week for approximately 6 weeks. Intracavitary vaginal brachytherapy - some patients will be given this and it will be decided by the treating physician. Carboplatin - AUC 6, IV over 30-60 minutes following completion of paclitaxel, given once every 3 weeks (3 weeks=1 cycles) for a total of 6 cycles Paclitaxel - 175 mg/m2, 3 hour continuous IV infusion, administered prior to carboplatin, given once every 3 weeks (3 weeks=1 cycles) for a total of 6 cycles

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The study will evaluate the feasibility of using helical tomotherapy to deliver IMRT in post-hysterectomy endometrial cancer patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy.1 year from the start of radiation therapy.

The study will be deemed infeasible if greater than 10% of patients experience one of the following:

* Patient cannot be given the treatment because her anatomy is such that a dosimetrically satisfactory treatment plan cannot be devised for her.

* The patient experiences any grade 4 acute toxicity judged to be related to her external radiation treatment.
...

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluate local, regional, and distant recurrence rates5 years from start of radiation therapy
Evaluate incidence of early toxicities30 days after last day of radiation therapy
Evaluate incidence of late toxicities1 year from the start of radiation therapy
Evaluate 5-year disease-free and 5-year overall survival rates5 years from start of radiation therapy
