Radiation Alone vs Chemoradiation in Endometrial Cancer Recurrence with Ann H. Klopp
In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Dr. Ann H. Klopp to discuss radiation alone vs chemoradiation in endometrial cancer recurrence. Dr. Ann H. Klopp is a Professor of Radiation Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, the head of the Gynecologic Oncology Section and a physician-scientist specializing in the treatment of gynecologic cancers. Her research focuses on improving outcomes for women with gynecologic cancers by enhancing tumor directed immune response in combination with radiation therapy and using advanced techniques to increase precision of radiation treatment delivery. Highlights: NRG0238 compared chemoradiation to radiation alone for patients with locally recurrent endometrial cancer and found that the addition of chemotherapy did not improve progression-free survival. Radiation therapy is highly effective for treatment for local recurrences of endometrial cancer. The nuances of patients enrolled and treatment delivered are discussed.
