Brief Summary: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of combination chemotherapy when given with radiation therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV endometrial cancer Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
I Determine the safety and maximum tolerated doses of paclitaxel and cisplatin when administered with radiotherapy in patients with stage III or IV endometrial cancer
II Assess the time to disease progression and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen
OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study of paclitaxel and cisplatin
Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV on days 1 8 15 22 29 and 36 Patients also undergo whole abdominal radiotherapy for 5 consecutive days weekly for 6 weeks
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of paclitaxel and cisplatin until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity Once the MTD is determined additional patients are treated at that dose level
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 3-48 patients will be accrued for part I and 14-20 patients will be accrued for part II of this study
