The efficacy of the combination treatment of cisplatin, adriamycin and etoposide were retrospectively evaluated in 26 recurrent or metastatic endometrial cancer patients. One hundred and twenty-three treatment courses were observed. Patients received 20 mg/m2 cisplatin and 80 mg/m2 etoposide by continuous i.v. infusion for three days and adriamycin 40 mg/m2 i.v. the second day. Treatment courses were repeated every four weeks. Megestrol acetate, 160 mg/day, was added in six patients who had positive progesterone receptors. Ten (38.5%) women had complete and three (11.5%) patients had partial response with an overall response rate of 50%. Median follow-up was 24 months. Surviving patients were alive for four months and six years. Toxicity was mainly hematological and gastrointestinal ulcerations and stomatitis were also observed.
