Abstract:
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in the United States, with a rising incidence and mortality. Traditionally, systemic treatment has included combination platinum- and taxane-based chemotherapy. More recently, the identification of molecular subtypes has transformed the treatment paradigms for patients with endometrial cancer, especially in the immunotherapeutic arena. Given the recent advancements in immune oncology approaches, we review regimens approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as well as the interim results of ongoing phase 3 clinical trials.

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...
