This is a single-patient case report of extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma of the liver in a 52-year-old woman. The patient received systemic chemotherapy with carboplatin and etoposide combined with durvalumab, had clinical improvement of symptoms, but died 10 months after starting chemoimmunotherapy. The authors note that optimal treatment for EPSCC is generally extrapolated from small cell lung cancer and that there is insufficient evidence to routinely recommend immunotherapy in this group.

Revista colombiana de obstetricia y ginecologia Β· Jun 2024 Β· expert consensus / practice guideline based on literature review
This paper is an expert consensus, not a clinical study of a single drug. Eleven specialists reviewed the literature and issued recommendations for managing advanced or metastatic high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, genetic testing, bevacizumab, and PARP inhibitors. It does not report new patient outcomes from a trial. The document mainly summarizes what the panel suggested based on existing guidelines and evidence.
Studied with: platinum-based chemotherapy, bevacizumab, paclitaxel, carboplatin.
Key findings
- The panel suggested primary cytoreductive surgery as the initial approach when complete resection is feasible.
- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval surgery was suggested when complete cytoreduction is unlikely or the patient has poor functional status/comorbidities.
- Bevacizumab was suggested with platinum-based chemotherapy for high-risk disease, with maintenance only if it was part of first-line therapy.
- PARP inhibitors (olaparib, niraparib, rucaparib) were suggested as maintenance in selected BRCA/HRD-defined groups.
- For platinum-resistant relapse, sequential non-platinum single-agent chemotherapy and best supportive care for poor performance status were suggested.
Limitations: This is a consensus statement/practice guideline, not an original comparative trial.; No new efficacy or safety data are reported in the abstract.; Recommendations are based on literature review and expert agreement, so they are subject to guideline-selection and expert-opinion bias.; The abstract does not provide patient-level outcomes, follow-up, or effect estimates.; Several recommendations are conditional/suggested rather than based on direct evidence from this paper..

This is a single-patient case report of a 77-year-old man with prior prostate adenocarcinoma who developed extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma of the prostate. The patient did not improve with bicalutamide and leuprorelin, and clinicians administered carboplatin-etoposide chemotherapy with durvalumab based on treatments used for small cell lung cancer. The authors state that EPSCC of the prostate is aggressive, lacks established treatment protocols, and call for further research and clinical trials.
Studied with: bicalutamide + leuprorelin, carboplatin + etoposide, durvalumab (given with carboplatin-etoposide).
Key findings
- Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCC) in the prostate is an aggressive and rare malignancy with unfavorable survival outcomes (reported as a general statement).
- The reported patient did not show improvement after standard therapy with bicalutamide and leuprorelin.
- The treating team administered a carboplatin-etoposide chemotherapy regimen together with durvalumab, extrapolating from small cell lung cancer approaches.
- The authors highlight a lack of established treatment protocols for prostate EPSCC and the need for further research and clinical trials.
Limitations: Single-patient case report (n=1), so findings are not generalizable.; Abstract does not report objective outcomes or follow-up after administration of carboplatin-etoposide plus durvalumab.; No control or comparator; observational description only.; No doses, treatment schedule, toxicity, or response metrics provided in the abstract.; Limited clinical detail (e.g., imaging, histology, biomarkers) provided in the abstract..

This review summarizes current knowledge on endometrial carcinosarcoma, an aggressive high-grade endometrial carcinoma with sarcomatous trans-differentiation that is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. It describes common molecular features (frequent p53 abnormalities; variable POLE/MSI-H) and current management: multimodal therapy with optimal surgery plus chemotherapy and radiotherapy, carboplatin/paclitaxel as first-line systemic therapy for recurrent/metastatic disease, and regulatory approvals for pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib in endometrial cancer generally. The authors note that carcinosarcoma patients were excluded from many immunotherapy trials and that emerging molecular insights may enable more personalized treatments in the future.
Reported effects: proportion_in_endometrioid_components 25% Β· proportion_in_non-endometrioid_components 3%
Studied with: carboplatin/paclitaxel doublet, pembrolizumab + lenvatinib, concomitant or sequential chemotherapy and radiotherapy, surgery plus chemotherapy and radiotherapy (multimodal).
Key findings
- Endometrial carcinosarcoma is a rare, aggressive high-grade endometrial carcinoma with secondary sarcomatous trans-differentiation.
- Clinical presentation and diagnostic work-up are similar to endometrioid endometrial cancer, but carcinosarcoma is more frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage.
- Endometrial carcinosarcoma encompasses different histological subtypes depending on the carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements.
- The majority of endometrial carcinosarcomas are characterized by p53 abnormalities.
- The proportion of POLE and microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) is related to the epithelial component, being approximately 25% and 3% in endometrioid and non-endometrioid components.
- Non-metastatic disease management is multimodal with optimal surgery followed by concomitant or sequential chemotherapy and radiotherapy, even for early stages.
- Palliative chemotherapy is recommended for metastatic or recurrent disease, with carboplatin/paclitaxel doublet as the first-line regimen.
- Patients with endometrial carcinosarcoma were excluded from most studies evaluating single-agent immunotherapy or combinations, although pembrolizumab and lenvatinib have FDA and EMA approvals in endometrial cancer after progression on chemotherapy (and single-agent immunotherapy in MSI-H cancers).
- Emerging molecular knowledge is opening promising therapeutic options for more personalized treatment.
Limitations: This article is a narrative review rather than primary clinical trial data.; Endometrial carcinosarcoma is a rare and heterogeneous disease, limiting generalizable high-quality evidence.; Patients with carcinosarcoma were excluded from most immunotherapy studies, resulting in limited direct trial evidence for these agents in this histotype.; The abstract does not present new quantitative clinical trial outcomes specific to carcinosarcoma..

This is a case report of a 61-year-old woman with stage IIIC ovarian carcinosarcoma who underwent extensive cytoreductive surgery followed by six cycles of carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab. Bevacizumab was not continued after chemotherapy because of severe myelosuppression and cost; the patient then received oral niraparib maintenance. At 6 months after the sixth chemotherapy, CA-125 fell to 4.55 U/ml and imaging plus tumor marker assessment indicated remission at short-term follow-up. The report suggests combined surgery, chemotherapy and targeted maintenance was associated with a favorable short-term outcome in this single patient.

Studied with: carboplatin, paclitaxel, bevacizumab.
Key findings
- Extensive cytoreductive surgery performed (sub-extensive hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy, sigmoid colon and partial rectal resection, lymph node dissection).
- Postoperative pathology confirmed ovarian carcinosarcoma with serous carcinoma and squamous carcinoma components; sarcomatous elements included fibrosarcoma, chondrosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma.
- Patient staged as FIGO IIIC and TNM T3cN1M0.
- The patient received six cycles of carboplatin, paclitaxel plus bevacizumab.
- Severe myelosuppression occurred during and after chemotherapy; bevacizumab was not maintained after chemotherapy (also noted to be expensive).
- Following chemotherapy the patient received oral niraparib maintenance therapy.
- At 6 months after the sixth chemotherapy, cancer antigen 125 levels dropped to 4.55 U/ml (within normal range).
- Short-term 6-month follow-up by ultrasonography, CT, MRI and serum tumor markers indicated a remission prognosis.
Limitations: Single-patient case report β results not generalizable.; Short follow-up duration (6 months) β no long-term outcomes reported.; No control or comparator group to attribute benefit to any specific component of the management.; Bevacizumab was discontinued (and had toxicity/cost issues), complicating interpretation of the combined regimen's effect.; No dose details provided for niraparib or chemotherapeutic agents..

This randomized phase III study compared paclitaxel plus carboplatin with paclitaxel plus ifosfamide in adults with uterine or ovarian carcinosarcoma. In uterine carcinosarcoma, paclitaxel plus carboplatin was not inferior to the ifosfamide regimen and had longer median overall survival and progression-free survival. Toxicities were broadly similar, although some side effects differed between the two groups.
Reported effects: median OS 37 mo, p P < .01 for noninferiority, P > .1 for superiority, n=449 Β· HR 0.87 [0.7β1.075], p P < .01 for noninferiority, P > .1 for superiority, n=449 Β· +4 more
Studied with: carboplatin, ifosfamide.
Key findings
- In uterine carcinosarcoma, paclitaxel plus carboplatin was not inferior to paclitaxel plus ifosfamide for overall survival.
- Median overall survival was 37 versus 29 months in uterine carcinosarcoma.
- Median progression-free survival was 16 versus 12 months in uterine carcinosarcoma.
- Toxicities were similar overall, with more hematologic toxicity in the paclitaxel-carboplatin arm and more confusion and genitourinary hemorrhage in the paclitaxel-ifosfamide arm.
- In ovarian carcinosarcoma, paclitaxel plus carboplatin had numerically longer survival outcomes, but the differences were not statistically significant.
Limitations: Primary analysis was focused on uterine carcinosarcoma; ovarian carcinosarcoma results had limited precision.; The abstract reports noninferiority and superiority p-values but does not provide full confidence intervals for progression-free survival.; Toxicity details are summarized only briefly in the abstract..

This review summarizes that uterine serous carcinoma is an aggressive subtype of endometrial cancer that, despite representing under 10% of cases, causes a disproportionate number of deaths. Standard management is comprehensive surgical staging followed by carboplatin and paclitaxel, and vaginal cuff brachytherapy may be beneficial. Recent whole-exome sequencing studies identified HER2/NEU gain-of-function and driver mutations in the PIK3CA/AKT/mTOR and cyclin E/FBXW7 pathways. The authors highlight these molecular alterations as relevant therapeutic targets for biologic therapy in chemotherapy-resistant recurrent USC.
Studied with: carboplatin + paclitaxel.
Key findings
- Uterine serous carcinoma (USC) is a highly aggressive variant of endometrial cancer and accounts for a disproportionate number of deaths despite representing less than 10% of cases.
- Comprehensive surgical staging followed by carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy represents the mainstay of USC therapy.
- Vaginal cuff brachytherapy is also of potential benefit in USC.
- Whole-exome sequencing studies have demonstrated gain of function of the HER2/NEU gene in a large number of USCs.
- Sequencing studies also found driver mutations in the PIK3CA/AKT/mTOR and cyclin E/FBXW7 oncogenic pathways.
- These genomic results emphasize the relevance of these novel therapeutic targets for biologic therapy of chemotherapy-resistant recurrent USC.
Limitations: This is a review article and does not present new primary clinical trial data.; The abstract reports genomic findings but provides no quantitative results, sample sizes, or outcome data.; No direct evidence of clinical efficacy of targeted agents in USC is provided in the abstract..
