Abstract

We report a case of a stage IV uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) with multiple organ metastases. The patient was treated with docetaxel and carboplatin combination chemotherapy. After five courses, uterine tumor, Douglas tumor, lymphadenopathy, and distant metastases on magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography scan were completely resoluted. Moreover, endometrial biopsy showed no carcinoma tissues after six courses. We suggest that this regimen may be effective for treatment of advanced-stage UPSC.
