Endometrial cancer, also known as uterine cancer, is the second most common cancer affecting women globally and the fourth most prevalent in the United States (US). Treatment often involves a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy depending on the severity. In this case report, we present two patients with relapsed endometrial carcinomas, who responded positively to combined radiotherapy and immunotherapy followed by maintenance immunotherapy. Given the worsening prognoses associated with recurrent endometrial cancers, these two cases warrant the further exploration of the concurrent administration of immunotherapy and radiation therapy in the context of clinical trials.
子宫内膜癌,也称为子宫癌,是全球影响女性的第二大常见癌症,在美国是第四大常见癌症。治疗通常根据严重程度采用手术、放疗和化疗相结合的方式。在本病例报告中,我们展示了两名复发性子宫内膜癌患者,他们对放疗和免疫疗法联合治疗反应良好,随后接受维持性免疫疗法。鉴于复发性子宫内膜癌的预后不断恶化,这两个病例值得在临床试验背景下进一步探索免疫疗法和放射疗法的联合应用。
