Objective: The optimum sequencing of adjuvant treatment in patients
with high-risk endometrial cancer remains contentious. Here, we report the
outcomes of women treated in Manchester, United Kingdom, where sequential
chemotherapy-radiotherapy is the standard adjuvant treatment approach for these
patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out on 106
consecutive patients referred for adjuvant treatment of high-risk endometrial
cancer in 2014 and 2015. High-risk endometrial cancer was defined as:
International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (2009) stage I grade 3
endometrioid carcinoma with deep myometrial invasion and/or lymphovascular space
invasion, stage II–III endometrioid carcinoma, or any other histological subtype
with stage I–III disease. Adjuvant treatment included carboplatin (AUC5) and
paclitaxel (175 mg/m
