Overcoming disease progression in advanced endometrial cancer: a clinical case of sequential therapies

Abstract

Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment landscape for solid tumours. Here, we describe the case of a 69-year-old woman with advanced endometrial cancer (EC) who achieved prolonged disease control with immunotherapy. The patient was diagnosed with stage IIIC EC in February 2020 and was treated with carboplatin and paclitaxel, followed by radiotherapy. Relapses occurred in February 2021 (treated with doxorubicin and palliative radiotherapy) and July 2022 (treated with a carboplatin rechallenge). Pembrolizumab and lenvatinib were started in November 2022. Although the initial scan showed progressive disease, restaging 2 months later showed stable disease, which was maintained on pembrolizumab and lenvatinib until progression in October 2024.
