An impressive response to pazopanib in a patient with metastatic endometrial carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

The incidence of endometrial carcinoma is rising and the patients with distant metastases have a poor prognosis, especially when progression of disease occurs after systemic treatment with hormonal therapy or chemotherapy. Pazopanib, a multi-targeted inhibitor of several oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases, has been investigated in patients with chemotherapy-resistant endometrial carcinoma or patients for whom chemotherapy is contraindicated. In this report we will describe a spectacular response to pazopanib in a patient with recurrent metastatic endometrial carcinoma.
