You may be eligible if
All patients with Surgical Stage III or IVA endometrial carcinoma per FIGO 2009 staging criteria, including clear cell and serous papillary and undifferentiated carcinomas.
Surgical Stage III disease includes those patients with positive adnexa, parametrial involvement, tumor invading the serosa, positive pelvic and/or para-aortic nodes, or vaginal involvement.
Surgical Stage IVA includes patients with bladder or bowel mucosal involvement, but no spread outside the pelvis.
Patients with FIGO 2009 surgical Stage I or II endometrial clear cell or serous carcinoma and with positive peritoneal cytology.
Surgery must have included a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooophorectomy. Pelvic lymph node sampling and para-aortic lymph node sampling are optional.
Patients with a GOG Performance Status of 0, 1, or 2.
Patients with adequate organ function, reflected by the following parameters:
WBC ≥ 3000/mcl Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mcl Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mcl SGOT, SGPT, and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN Creatinine ≤ institutional ULN
Patients must be 18 years of age or older.
Entry into the study is limited to no more than 8 weeks from the date of surgery.
Patients with a history of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer, are excluded if there is any evidence of active malignancy within the last five years. Patients are also excluded if their previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol therapy.
Patients with a history of serious co-morbid illness or uncontrolled illnesses that would preclude protocol therapy.
Patients with an estimated survival of less than three months.
Patients with FIGO 2009 Stage IVB endometrial cancer.
Patients with parenchymal liver metastases.
