Detailed Summary
This is a study to determine the optimal treatment for patients with advanced stage or recurrent endometrial cancer. Traditionally, patients have been treated with either hormonal therapies (megesterol) or chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin).

Interventions
Paclitaxel will be administered at an appropriate dose (175mg/m2) as a 3 hour continuous IV infusion every 21 days. Carboplatin will be administered at an appropriate dose utilizing Calvert formula for determining the area under the curve (AUC) based on the patient's glomerular filtration rate. Megesterol Acetate will be given orally four times a day at an anti-tumor dosage of 40 mg. This will be given for a total of 6 cycles over 18 weeks with the Megace continuing for 5 years as long as no evidence of recurrence is present.
