I would need to know what is meant by locally advanced endometrial cancer. Locally advanced cervical cancer usually means not operable (except IB2) so is this a T3N?M1 pt with a bone met? That is IVb. I agree with bone biopsy but endo does go to bone so I would not be surprised if this was positive....

To start with, as this presentation would be unusual, I would get a bone biopsy. There is no data but would favor local treatment which could be radical hysterectomy, definitive chemo RT or preopchemo RT followed by surgery based on extent of disease followed by additional chemo.
