Patients with a synchronous primary endometrial cancer, or a past history of primary endometrial cancer 3. Prior chemotherapy or radiation to treat the current disease 4. Patients who received intraperitoneal chemotherapy at time of operation 5. Prior diagnosis of malignancy (other than non-melanoma skin cancer or other malignancies curatively treated and greater than 5 years without evidence of recurrence) 6.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Progression-free survival: patients are followed up clinically every 2 months until disease progression

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Adverse events: adverse event data will be collected during the treatment phase of the study 2. Overall survival: patients will be followed up at least until 36 months post-treatment 3. Response rate: to confirm best response to treatment, patients are scanned (computed tomography [CT]/magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) pre-treatment
