Successful treatment with weekly paclitaxel in a patient with recurrent endometrial cancer. A case report.

Abstract

The best treatment for recurrent endometrial cancer is still uncertain, although weekly paclitaxel has shown some promise in the management of this disease. In this report we present a patient with recurrent endometrial cancer treated with weekly paclitaxel. Serial power Doppler angiography was used to assess the effects of therapy. The response was good, suggesting that recurrent endometrial cancer may be successfully treated with weekly paclitaxel and effectively monitored with power Doppler angiography.
