Suggest Treatment For Metastatic Endometrial Cancer

Posted on Tue, 4 Aug 2015

Question: Hello,
My mother has endometrium Cercinoma. She had undergone surgery of Uterus in August 2014. On subsequent biopsy cancer was detected. Initially she had undergone chemotherapy from 30th September to 30th January 2015. On 12th March 2015, the Pet-citiscan report shows full recovery. However, during May 2015, the cercinoma revived and at present it had spread significantly. However, the Doctors at Tata Medical Center are at the opinion that further chemotherapy will be fruitless and presently she is under palliative care.
However, we want a proper treatment of her condition. Hence, we need opinion what to do in this situation. Whether any treatment is available at her condition. We desperately want some positive treatment for her.
Kindly suggest.

Hi

I have gone through the history

Since the endometrial cancer now has spread I would advise her second line chemotherapy with liposomal doxorubicin.

Response rate is 45%

Average survival time with this drug is 1 year.

With palliative care survival time is 6 months.
