Abstract:
The treatment of patients with endometrial cancer is rapidly evolving. Literature data give more information on prognostic factors, allowing treatment stratification. If treatment has become less heavy in early-stage disease, therapeutic approaches have become more aggressive in more advanced disease. In this situation, treatment combines external irradiation and chemotherapy. Despite these advances, numerous questions remain on the best therapeutic sequence. Optimal chemotherapy regimens remain to be determined. On-going randomized trials will help to answer these questions.

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...
