METHODS: The workgroup utilised a modified ADAPTE process to calibrate high quality international evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to our local setting.
RESULTS: Three international guidelines were evaluated- those developed by the National Cancer Comprehensive Network (2015), the European Society of Medical Oncology (2013) and the Cancer Council Australia (2011). Recommendations on the role of chemotherapy following surgery in women diagnosed with endometrial cancer, the chemotherapeutic options for women with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancers and the role of chemotherapy in women with uterine papillary serous carcinoma or clear cell carcinoma were developed.
CONCLUSIONS: These adapted guidelines form the SCAN Guidelines 2015 for the systemic therapy of endometrial (uterine) cancer.
