Extra-pelvic metastasis of endometrioid carcinoma; resistance to chemo-radiation therapy--response to paclitaxel treatment. Case report.
We present a case report of a 56 year old female suffering from recurrence of simultaneous endometrial and ovarian carcinomas, confined to distant neck and axillary lymph nodes. Resistance of the tumor to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy was followed by experimental Paclitaxel treatment which led to complete regression of all metastatic foci.
