The purpose of this study was to describe a new anti-cancer drug regimen for endometrial cancer. The cytotoxicities of some anti-cancer drugs regimens against human endometrial cancer xenografted into nude mice (TEI, TET, TEU, TEN) have been studied. The activities of ADM, CDDP, CPM, CPT-11, TXL, CDDP + ADM, CDDP + CPM, CDDP + CPT-11, CDDP + TXL, CPT-11 + TXL were evaluated in comparison with a control group using saline. Three mice were used for each group, and when xenografted tumor reached 6 mm of its diameter, 1/5 LD50 of these drugs was administered into the periotoneal cavity mice once a week for three weeks. The effective regimens were CPT-11 + TXL, CDDP + CPT-11, CDDP + CPM, CDDP + TXL for the endometrial cancer. It is suggested that these new drugs regimens should be tested in clinical studies.
