The early stage endometrial cancer are usually cured with surgery. Isolated pelvic recurrences are treated with radiation, whereas most other patients with advanced or recurrent disease receive systemic therapy. Response rates to systemic therapy reported in the literature vary considerably. For single agents, including cisplatin, carboplatin, topotecan, and doxorubicin, achieve response rates greater than 20%, and paclitaxel combination chemotherapy is associated with response rates of 40-60%. There is an obvious need for more effective therapies. In addition, the use of less toxic combinations including the taxenes and carboplatin are of interest and require further study.
