Abstract:
Carcinosarcoma(CS)of the uterus is a rare class of malignant female pelvic neoplasms.The primary modality of therapy for uterine CS is surgery.Postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy may only improve loco-regional control.Standard adiuvant treatment of uterine CS has shifted from primarily loco-regional radiotherapy to chemotherapy.Potentially more effective adjuvant chemotherapy regimens will be investigated.Chemotherapy can extend life for patients with advanced,persistent,or recurrent uterine CS.However,effect of chemotherapy remains to be further enhanced.
