title: Taxol is active in platinum-resistant endometrial adenocarcinoma.
abstract: Taxol, 170 mg/m2 by 3-h infusion every 3 weeks, was administered to seven patients with primarily advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer with progressive disease on platinum analogues. By standard response criteria, there were three clinical responders (43%; 95% confidence limits, 6-80%) and one disease stabilization. All three responses were clinical partial responses. The response duration ranged from 3 to 7 months. These preliminary results suggest that taxol is active in patients with platinum-resistant endometrial adenocarcinoma.
