title: Carboplatin and paclitaxel adjuvant chemotherapy in primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the uterine corpus.
abstract: Primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the uterine corpus (PNET) is rare and appears to have an aggressive clinical course. We report on a postmenopausal woman with optimal surgically cytoreduced advanced-stage PNET in which adjuvant combination chemotherapy with platinum and taxane agents was unsuccessful in extending her disease-free survival.
