Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in
chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or
die. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy with chemotherapy is more effective than
radiation therapy alone in treating high-risk endometrial cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy and chemotherapy to
see how well they work compared to radiation therapy alone in treating patients with
high-risk endometrial cancer.
Phase:
