Excerpts:
The addition of Dostarlimab for endometrial cancer being added to current cancer treatment follows:
“Endometrial cancer is the sixth most common cancer women worldwide and the second most common type of gynecologic cancer. Carboplatin plus paclitaxel is standard chemotherapy for first-line treatment of primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer; however, long-term outcomes remain poor, with median overall survival of less than 3 years."
"CONCLUSIONS: Dostarlimab plus carboplatin–paclitaxel significantly increased progression-free survival among patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, with a substantial benefit in the dMMR–MSI-H population."
"Long-term outcomes are poor with standard first-line chemotherapy for primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. Whether adding immunotherapy could improve outcomes is uncertain. New research findings are summarized in a short video."
