Abstract | OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of two multi-agent chemotherapeutic regiments that were previously used at the Institution for treatment of advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer. METHODS: RESULTS: Forty-two patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer were included in this review based on regimen received. Median duration of follow up was 55 months. Treatment with PAV-M resulted in more dose modifications compared to CT group (42% vs 11%, respectively). There were no significant differences in disease-free survival or overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: PAV/PAV-M is active in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. However, toxicity associated with this triplet regimen may limit clinical use.
