Chemotherapy for advanced, recurrent or metastatic endometrial carcinoma

Abstract: The optimum cytotoxic drug regimen for advanced endometrial adenocarcinoma has still to be defined although our review suggests that it may contain paclitaxel or platinum. These mainly North American and European trial populations represent a highly selected subgroup of the 10, 000 women dying annually from this disease. Future trials should include measures of QOL and symptom control in addition to PFS and overall survival (OS). They should should also consider comparison of of endocrine therapy and cytotoxic… Show more

“…These measures are effective for early-stage EC. However, advanced, poorly differentiated or special types of EC are difficult to be treated and may ultimately produce poor results [3,4]. Most EC patients experience tumor recurrence or metastasis [5].…”

“…Nevertheless, only a minority of EC patients are sensitive to these treatments. 3 Moreover, type II EC patients have a poor prognosis with 5-year survival rate <35%. 4 Thus, identification of novel therapeutic targets and further elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying the tumorigenesis and progression of EC may have a major impact on the health of women.…”
