Brief Summary: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of thalidomide in treating patients who have recurrent or persistent endometrial cancer Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
I Determine the antitumor cytostatic activity of thalidomide in terms of 6-month progression-free survival in patients with recurrent or persistent endometrial carcinoma
II Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this drug in these patients III Determine the partial and complete response rates in patients treated with this drug
IV Determine the duration of progression-free and overall survival in patients treated with this drug
V Determine the effect of this drug on initial performance status and histological grade in these patients
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study
Patients receive oral thalidomide once daily on days 1-28 Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter
