Abstract
BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer is a tumor that affects many women. Essentially, patients who have high-risk endometrial cancer tend to have a disproportionately high rate of metastasis as well as relapse than the general population. Regardless of complete resection, individuals who are having stages III or IV cancer appear to be at substantial risk of recurrence, either locally or distantly. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are examples of systemic adjuvant treatment. However, the ideal scheduling strategy remains a mystery. Undertaking this research can help in examining the efficacy as well as safety of adjuvant chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced endometrial cancer in the future. METHODS: To recognize all randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of adjuvant chemotherapy alone in those patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma, a comprehensive systematic review along with meta-analysis were undertaken in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Biological Medical Database (CBM). In accordance with traditional Cochrane methodology, 2 independent authors will review search results, choose studies for inclusion, extract study characteristics and outcome data, and examine the risk of bias in the researches they pick. The P values and the I² statistic shall be employed in determining the levels of heterogeneity. Meanwhile, the heterogeneity will be explored via the use of sensitivity analyses, and the meta-analysis will be conducted utilizing the RevMan 5.3 software package. RESULTS: Patients with advanced endometrial cancer will benefit from this research since it will offer a high-quality synthesis of existing information on the utilization of adjuvant chemotherapy alone. CONCLUSION: The outcomes of the proposed investigation will summarize the current evidence of adjuvant chemotherapy alone for patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma.
