ABSTRACT
A patient with recurrent endometrial cancer with multiple abdominal and pelvic tumoral masses was treated with re-irradiation combined with liposomal doxorubicin and oxaliplatin. A multiple field conformal technique was used to deliver a highly accelerated and hypo fractionated scheme [15 fractions of 3.5 Gy, within 19 days]. Complete response was confirmed four months after therapy. Four years later a lung metastasis appeared and was again treated with a similar course of therapy, once again resulting in a complete response. It is suggested that in the era of modern image-guided radiotherapy patients with endometrial cancer who have relapsed within or outside the loco-regional area, should be carefully assessed for an eventual gross tumor eradication using high-dose localized radiotherapy, leaving as the only target of chemotherapy the microscopic undetectable disease
