Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Medically Inoperable Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial carcinoma is the most frequently diagnosed gynecological cancer among women aged 50 and older in developed countries. In patients who are not amenable to surgery, radiotherapy results in improved survival with acceptable adverse effect profiles. Definitive stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) as a monotherapy remains an unaddressed concept in the literature. Here, we present the case of an 86-year-old woman who was diagnosed with early-stage endometrial carcinoma and was medically inoperable due to cardiac comorbidities. She was treated with magnetic resonance imaging-guided online adaptive radiotherapy-based SBRT. She tolerated the treatment well, with mild increased vaginal discharge. Complete metabolic and radiological responses were obtained. She continues to be disease free in the first year of treatment with no long-term side effects. Our protocol presents promising results with a safe toxicity profile for inoperable early-stage endometrial cancer. Future studies are warranted in light of the current knowledge.
