Treatment of Recurrent Uterine Sarcoma

For information about the treatments listed below, see the Treatment Option Overview section.

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.

Use our clinical trial search to find NCI-supported cancer clinical trials that are accepting patients. You can search for trials based on the type of cancer, the age of the patient, and where the trials are being done. General information about clinical trials is also available.
