Bevacizumab plus chemotherapy continued beyond progression in patients with type II endometrial cancer previously treated with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy: A case report.
Molecular and Clinical Oncology 2017 September
The prognosis of patients with recurrent/persistent endometrial cancer, particularly type II cancer, remains poor, and effective treatment has not yet been established. We herein present the case of a patient with recurrent type II endometrial cancer who received bevacizumab + chemotherapy continued beyond progression, after previously receiving bevacizumab + chemotherapy. This patient experienced recurrence after first- and second-line adjuvant chemotherapy followed by modified radical hysterectomy and she was administered bevacizumab + paclitaxel + carboplatin therapy. After six cycles of treatment, all metastatic lesions shrunk, indicating partial response. The patient next received single-agent bevacizumab as maintenance therapy. After 12 cycles of bevacizumab monotherapy, disease progression was detected; therefore, combination therapy consisting of bevacizumab, doxorubicin and carboplatin was initiated. After six cycles of this combination therapy, the patient exhibited disease stabilization. Finally, 18 months after the initial bevacizumab treatment, the patient remained on combination chemotherapy, without complaints or signs of tumor progression (last follow-up, October 2014).
