Abstract
Objective: There is no consensus on whether platinum doublet chemotherapy or lenvatinib and pembrolizumab (LEN/PEM) is superior for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. Thus, this study aimed to compare the prognosis and adverse events in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer treated with platinum doublet chemotherapy or LEN/PEM.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who received platinum doublet chemotherapy or LEN/PEM at our institution for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer and had a history of platinum-based chemotherapy between January 2013 and August 2023.
Results: During the study period, 11 regimens were identified in the platinum doublet chemotherapy group, and 11 regimens were identified in the LEN/PEM group. The objective response rates of the platinum doublet chemotherapy and LEN/ PEM groups were 36.4% and 54.5% (P=0.67), respectively. The 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rates of the platinum doublet chemotherapy and LEN/PEM groups were 27.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.8%-40.7%) and 70.0% (95% CI, 55.5%-84.5%), respectively. The differences were significant between the two groups. Multivariate analyses of histology, prior lines of chemotherapy, platinum-free intervals, and regimens revealed that the LEN/PEM group had significantly better PFS rates.
Conclusion: Treatment with LEN/PEM resulted in significantly longer PFS than that of treatment with platinum doublet chemotherapy in patients with advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer. However, further large-scale studies are required to validate these findings.
期刊介绍:
Obstetrics & Gynecology Science (NLM title: Obstet Gynecol Sci) is an international peer-review journal that published basic, translational, clinical research, and clinical practice guideline to promote women’s health and prevent obstetric and gynecologic disorders. The journal has an international editorial board and is published in English on the 15th day of every other month. Submitted manuscripts should not contain previously published material and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. The journal has been publishing articles since 1958. The aim of the journal is to publish original articles, reviews, case reports, short communications, letters to the editor, and video articles that have the potential to change the practices in women''s health care. The journal’s main focus is the diagnosis, treatment, prediction, and prevention of obstetric and gynecologic disorders. Because the life expectancy of Korean and Asian women is increasing, the journal''s editors are particularly interested in the health of elderly women in these population groups. The journal also publishes articles about reproductive biology, stem cell research, and artificial intelligence research for women; additionally, it provides insights into the physiology and mechanisms of obstetric and gynecologic diseases.
