  1. Management of Endometrial Cancer in 2008 Marcus E. Randall, MD, FACR Chair and Professor Markey Foundation Endowed Chair Department of Radiation Medicine University of Kentucky Medical Center

  2. Endometrial Carcinoma • Classification of Disease Categories • Locoregional disease • Low-risk disease: stage IA grades 1-2 • Intermediate-risk disease: all other stage I, stage II • High-risk disease: stage III and IVA • Disseminated disease: stage IVB or recurrent

  3. EARLY STAGE ENDOMETRIAL CANCER:INTERMEDIATE RISK DOES EVERYONE NEED RT?

  4. GOG # 99 • Complete surgical staging including pelvic and para-aortic node sampling • Surgical stage IB, IC, IIA (occult) and IIB (occult) (Low and Intermediate Risk) • All histologic types except serous papillary and clear cell • Randomized to pelvic RT vs. no further therapy

  5. GOG # 99 • 392 evaluable patients • 58.5% IB, 32.1% IC, only 9.4% stage II(occult) • 82.3% inner and middle third invasion, only 17.6% outer third invasion • 81.6% grade 1 and 2, only 18.4% • grade 3

  6. GOG # 99 Recurrence Pattern Surgery Surgery+EBRT Vagina, by randomization 13/172 (7.6%) 2/179 (1.1%) Vagina, by treatment 15/172 (8.7%) 1/179 (0.6%) received Total pelvic failure, by 20/172 (12%) 3/179 (1.7%) randomization Total pelvic failure, by 22/172 (13%) 1/179 (0.6%) treatment received

  7. GOG # 99 Surgery Surgery +EBRT Alive (4 years) 86% 92% Dead of disease 15/202 (7.4%) 8/190 (4.2%) Intercurrent deaths 18/202 (8.9%) 14/190 (7.4%) Conclusion: The use of adjuvant RT, in women with intermediate risk endometrial cancer, decreases the risk of recurrences but has an inappreciable effect on overall survival

  8. PROBLEMS WITH GOG # 99 • The number of events was smaller than expected and approximately 50% of deaths were due to intercurrent disease. Therefore, the study was insufficiently powered to demonstrate a statistically significant survival difference. • The patient population was largely composed of low risk patients.

  9. GOG # 99 • Recognized during study that patient population being accrued was mostly low risk. Therefore, “low intermediate” and “high intermediate” risk groups were defined based on GOG #33 data base.

  10. “HIGH INTERMEDIATE RISK” • Moderately-poorly differentiated tumor and • Presence of LVSI and • Outer 1/3 myometrial invasion Age >50 with any 2 risk factors above Age >70 with any 1 risk factor Others considered “low intermediate risk.”

  11. GOG #99: CONCLUSION • Adjunctive RT in early stage intermediate risk endometrial carcinoma decreases the risk of recurrence, but should be limited to patients whose risk factors fit a “high intermediate” risk definition. Keys et al. Gynecol Oncol 2004; 92:744-751.

  21. NSGO EORTC A randomized phase-III study on adjuvant treatment with radiation (RT) ± chemotherapy (CT) in early stage high-risk endometrial cancer (NSGO-EC-9501/EORTC 55991) On behalf of NSGO and EORTC T. Hogberg1, P. Rosenberg1, G. Kristensen1, CF de Oliviera2, R dePont Christensen1 B Sorbe1, C Lundgren1, H Andersson1, T Salmi1, NS Reed2. 1Nordic Society of Gynecologic Oncology, Odense, Denmark, 2Europ Org for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Brussels, Belgium.

  22. NSGO EC-9501/EORTC-55991 RT May 1996 to January 2007 Randomization 44 Gy XRT ± optional brachytherapy (BT:39%) 196 cases 382 cases Radical surgery ATH+BSO(+PLA) RT+CT (BT:44%) 186 cases OR Surgical stage I, II, IIIA ( positive peritoneal fluid cytology only), or IIIC (positive pelvic lymph nodes only) CT+RT CT :intially AP Later AP, TP, TAP, TEP Patients with serous, clear cell, or anaplastic carcinomas were eligible regardless of other risk factors Primary endpoint Progression-free survival (PFS)

  23. NSGO EC-9501/EORTC-55991 Overall survival depending on randomization CT not completed CT completed RT (n=196) RT + CT (n=186) HR 0.65 (CI 0.40-1.06) p=0.08; estimated difference in 5-yr OS 8% from 74 % to 82 % Thomas Hogberg, NSGO - 18

  24. NSGO EC-9501/EORTC-55991 Cancer-specific survival depending on randomization CT not completed CT completed RT (n=196) RT + CT (n=186) HR 0.51 (CI 0.29-0.91) p=0.02; estimated difference in 5-yr CSS 10 % from 78 % to 88 % Thomas Hogberg, NSGO - 19

  25. NSGO EC-9501/EORTC-55991 EORTC NSGO Conclusion Despite that 27 % of the patients randomized to RT+CT received no or only part of the prescribed CT, RT+CT was better than RT alone as adjuvant therapy for patients with early endometrial cancer at high risk for micrometastases. Thomas Hogberg, NSGO - 25

  26. EARLY DISEASE:CONCLUSIONS • Patients with low risk disease probably do not need RT. They can be observed and RT used for salvage of local recurrences (must not immediately treat locally recurrent patients with systemic therapy on the theory they are “incurable.”

  27. CONCLUSIONS 2. Adjuvant RT (of some sort) plays an important role in improving local control and possibly survival in most other patients with high intermediate risk endometrial carcinoma. 3. The increasing reliance on up-front surgical therapy and staging, including LN assessment, has raised new questions about the use of and appropriate extent of post-operative RT.

  28. CONCLUSIONS 4. Given early data suggesting that chemotherapy might be effective on an adjuvant basis in high risk early stage disease, the Gynecologic Oncology Group is planning to open a study evaluating chemotherapy with cuff brachytherapy in high risk stage I-II disease.

  29. Phase III trial of pelvic radiation therapy versus vaginal cuff brachytherapy followed by paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy in patients with high risk, early stage endometrial cancer: ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Surgically staged high-intermediate risk endometrial cancer defined by GOG 99 (age >/= 70 with 1 risk factor, or >/= 50 with 2 risk factors)- using risk criteria of: Grade 2-3 tumor, (+) LVSI, outer 1/3 myometrial invasion + any age with all 3 risk criteria Stage IIb endometrial cancer of any histology Stage I-IIb papillary serous or clear cell cancers Study Chairs: Scott McMeekin, Marc Randall, Carol Aghajanian

  32. Whole Abdominal Radiotherapy versus Combination Doxorubicin-Cisplatin Chemotherapy In Advanced Endometrial Carcinoma: A Randomized Phase III Trial Of The Gynecologic Oncology Group Randall ME et al. Journal of Clinical Oncology 24:36-44, 2006.

  33. GOG #122: TREATMENT ARMS • Whole Abdominal Irradiation (WAI) • Doxorubicin and Cisplatin (AP Chemo) • Randomization was balanced within institutions. No other stratification was used.

  34. TREATMENT Comparison WAI AP Chemo Completed Tx 84% 63% Stopped tx due 3% 17% to toxicity Median duration 1.3 mos. 5.1 mos. of treatment Did not receive n=12* n=3* protocol tx (#) *Not assessed for adverse effects but included in analysis of treatment outcomes.

  36. GOG #122: TREATMENT OUTCOMES

  37. SUMMARY: MANAGEMENT OF STAGE III-IV ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA Make every effort to have patient surgically staged and maximally debulked. Whole abdominal RT alone is probably no longer an acceptable treatment.

  38. MANAGEMENT OF STAGE III-IV ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA 3. Combination chemotherapy has a definite place in the management of these patients, Based on GOG #122, this currently represents the treatment of choice, assuming toxicity can be limited or managed. Role of combined chemo-RT is unclear, but early results are promising. Might well be the best treatment.

  39. Chemotherapy for Advanced or Measurable Disease Endometrial Carcinoma GOG Protocol 209: Advanced or Recurrent (Measurable) Disease* Regimen I** Doxorubicin 50 mg/m2 d1 Cisplatin 60 mg/m2 d1 Paclitaxel 160 mg/m2/3h d2 Regimen II Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2/3h Carboplatin AUC 6 d1 *Each regimen given every 3 weeks **Regimen I requires G-CSF.

  40. Proposed GOG Study (GOG 704) Chemotherapy alone (6 cycles of Carbo-Taxol) Vs RT Concurrent with weekly cisplatin followed by 4 cycles of Carbo-Tax Study Chairs: Dr. Daniela Matei (Medical Oncology) Dr. Marc Randall (Radiation Oncology) Dr. David Mutch (Gynecologic Oncology)
