摘要
Recurrent/metastatic endometrial adenocarcinoma that is not amenable to cure with local or regional therapy and/or chemotherapy represents a discouraging clinical entity for the clinician. We report the case of 58-year-old woman with recurrent endometrial carcinoma that was resistant to chemotherapy that was treated successfully with the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole.
