Abstract

For many years, drug therapy for endometrial cancer has centered on chemotherapy regimens such as adriamycin+cisplatin(AP)or paclitaxel+carboplatin(TC). In recent years, however, the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)has dramatically changed the treatment landscape. Multiple phase Ⅲ trials(eg, NRG-GY018, DUO-E)have demonstrated that adding ICIs to TC chemotherapy improves prognosis, and in 2024 combination therapies with pembrolizumab or durvalumab were approved in Japan for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. Additionally, development of antibody-drug conjugates(ADCs)is underway, and ADCs targeting HER2, TROP2, and other tumor-specific antigens are anticipated to become new therapeutic options.
