摘要
There is no consensus regarding the optimal chemotherapy for endometrial cancer patients, and a need for better chemotherapy is evident. Two individuals with recurrent metastatic endometrial cancer treated with docetaxel and carboplatin combination chemotherapy are presented here. Both cases showed objective response to the chemotherapy (one complete response and the other partial response); response duration was 7 and 18 months, respectively. One patient who achieved complete response is alive without disease for 12 months after recurrence. Adverse effects in this regimen were mild and tolerable. Docetaxel in combination with carboplatin may be active agents for patients with metastatic endometrial cancer.
