Chemotherapy is not necessarily needed after endometrial cancer recurrence, and the specific treatment plan should be judged according to the condition.
When there is localized recurrence of endometrial cancer, it can be treated by surgery, radiotherapy or a combination of both, and large lesions can be excised; if radiotherapy has been received, extended or radical surgery is feasible.
If it cannot be cured by surgery and radiotherapy, then paclitaxel, cisplatin or doxorubicin can be used alone or in combination with chemotherapy.
When there is non-local recurrence of endometrial cancer, chemotherapeutic drugs (such as paclitaxel, cisplatin or doxorubicin, etc.) or progestin can be used, which can be applied alone or in combination with progestin.
After treatment of endometrial cancer, regular follow-up should be conducted, and pelvic and vaginal cytology and other examinations can be carried out to be alert of cancer recurrence; if there is recurrence, consult doctor in time and standardize treatment according to doctor’s prescription.
