Treatment Options for Recurrent Uterine Sarcoma

There is no standard treatment for recurrent uterine sarcoma. Treatment may include a clinical trial using chemotherapy.

For patients with recurrent carcinosarcoma (a certain type of tumor), treatment may include the following:

• Radiation therapy as palliative therapy to relieve symptoms (such as pain, nausea, or bowel problems) and improve the quality of life.
• Hormone therapy.
• A clinical trial of a new treatment.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with recurrent uterine sarcoma. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
