  • Title: Use of cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide to treat advanced and recurrent adenocarcinoma of the endometrium.
    Author: Hancock KC, Freedman RS, Edwards CL, Rutledge FN.
    Journal: Cancer Treat Rep; 1986 Jun; 70(6):789-91. PubMed ID: 3731140.
    Abstract:
    Eighteen patients with recurrent or advanced adenocarcinoma of the endometrium were treated with the combination of cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide between January 1981 and December 1983. Sixteen of the 18 had received prior irradiation. None of the patients had received prior chemotherapy. Fifteen patients had previously received hormones without response. No patients received concurrent hormone treatments. Ten of the 18 patients (56%) achieved an objective response: five (28%) achieved complete response and five (28%) achieved partial response. Myelosuppression was present in seven patients, and two developed neurotoxicity. Combination chemotherapy using cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide is active in patients with adenocarcinoma of the endometrium, including those who have received prior irradiation and have failed hormonal therapy.
