The purpose of this study is to find out whether short-course radiation therapy (1 week instead of the usual 5 weeks) with chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) is practical (feasible), meaning that most participants are able to complete the treatment schedule.

Patients must have FIGO (2009) stage IIIA or IIIC1 disease (as determined by surgical staging).
Patients must consent to testing with MSK-IMPACT part A and are encouraged to consent to both parts A and C.
Patients whose endometrial cancers harbor known pathogenic POLE mutations
Patients whose endometrial cancers are mismatch repair deficient, as determined by immunohistochemical staining for MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6 and/or MSI-H
Active inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
