Summary

For recurrent/advanced endometrial cancer (EC), carboplatin in combination with paclitaxel remains the current first-line standard of care globally. In the NRG Oncology/GOG209 phase III trial, the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was 13 months and 37 months respectively (NRG/GOG209) [1]. Whilst hormonal therapy (HT) may be the preferred front-line systemic therapy for selected patients with low-grade EC carcinomas without rapidly progressive disease [2], we argue that the efficacy in advanced/recurrent EC post chemotherapy (i.e., chemo-resistant) is limited and alternative options should now be considered in clinical practice.
