Abstract
Introduction: Endometrial cancer is the most common invasive gynecologic malignancy in developed countries. The best survival rates are expected after surgical removal, thus the aim of a complex treatment is to achieve resecability in locally and locoregionally advanced disease. Aim: The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate if the neoadjuvant systemic treatment leads to better overall survival compared to irradiation solely. Method: From January 2015 to December 2018, we enrolled 28 patients diagnosed with irresecable, locally and locoregionally advanced high-risk endometrial carcinoma. Patients were treated by neoadjuvant paclitaxel-carboplatin, then radical hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy and lymphadenectomy were performed. Results: After administration of 6 cycles of carboplatin-paclitaxel, the control MR test showed tumor shrinkage in all patients. Complete resection was achieved in the case of every patient. Tumor residuum in lymph nodes was verified in 4 cases by pathological evaluation. The 2-year survival and the 2-year progression-free survival rates were 65,1% and 66,1%, respectively. The median overall survival was 16,5 months. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant treatment can be an effective approach in providing the conditions for complete tumor resection, which may result in survival advantage. Despite multimodal treatment, prognosis is poor. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(11): 425-433.

Summary
Magas kockázatú endometriumtumorok műtét előtti szisztémás előkezelése. A legjobb túlélési eredmények a tumor műtéti eltávolítása után várhatók, ezért a komplex ellátás célja a lokálisan és lokoregionálisan előrehaladott betegség reszekábilissé tétele. Célkitűzés: A jelen közleményben azt vizsgáljuk, hogy a neoadjuváns kemoterápiával kezelt és műtéten átesett betegek teljes túlélése jobb-e a csak sugárkezelést kapott páciensekéhez képest. December között 28, lokálisan, illetve lokoregionálisan előrehaladott, primeren irreszekábilis, magas kockázatú méhtesttumoros betegnél végeztünk neoadjuváns szisztémás kezelést paklitaxel-karbo platin alkalmazásával. Eredmények: A 6 ciklus kemoterápia után készült kontroll-MR-vizsgálat minden esetben méretbeli csökkenést igazolt. Minden betegnél véghez vihető volt a teljes tumoreltávolítás. A 2 éves túlélési arány 65,5%, a 2 éves progressziómentesség 66,1% volt. A medián teljes túlélés 16,5 hónap volt. A komplex ellátás ellenére a betegek túlélése továbbra is szerény. Kulcsszavak: lokálisan és lokoregionálisan előrehaladott endometriumcarcinoma, primeren irreszekábilis, neoadjuváns kezelés
