Can Chemotherapy Cure Stage IV Uterine Cancer?
My mother (55) has been diagnosed with uterus cancer (stage IV), size of tumor along with uterus is around 130mm. She had menopause 6 years back and was fine after that. Last week she had a pain in her abdomen. After an MRI and US Scan, the dotors tried to operate and found that the uterus was bulged and was sticking to the large intestine. Hence they took biopsy and did not operate further. After the biopsy results they are asking us to go for chemo to reduce the size of tumor and then perform an operation later. Kindly advice.

Hi,
Stage IV carcinosarcoma is often treated with similar chemo. Cisplatin, ifosfamide, and paclitaxel may also be combined. Women with stage IV endometrial cancer should consider taking part in clinical trials of chemotherapy or other new treatments.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
