Abstract:
Treatment paradigms for endometrial cancer are rapidly evolving. New minimally invasive surgical techniques have helped to reduce the morbidity of women with early-stage tumors undergoing hysterectomy. A growing body of evidence has helped to stratify women with intermediate-risk endometrial cancer to optimize adjuvant therapy in this subset of patients. For women with high-risk and metastatic endometrial cancer there has been a renewed interest in incorporating chemotherapy into treatment paradigms. This review summarizes the latest advances in the treatment of endometrial cancer with a special focus on adjuvant therapy.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
