Abstract:
5601 Background: To estimate the oncologic and pregnancy outcomes after progestin treatment of young women with endometrial adenocarcinoma with grade 2–3 and/or superficial myometrial invasion. Methods: Medical records of 48 young women with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus with grade 2–3 and/or superficial myometrial invasion who were conservatively managed with oral progestin were reviewed. Results: Fourteen patients (29.2%) received daily oral megestrol acetate (median dose, 160 mg/day; range, 40–240 mg/day) and 34 (70.8%) received daily oral medroxyprogesterone acetate (median dose, 500 mg/day; range, 80–1000 mg/day). The median treatment duration was 10 months (range, 3–20 months). Complete responses were observed in 37 patients (77.1%) and the median time to complete response was 17 weeks (range, 9–51 weeks). Complete response rates were 76.5%, 73.9%, and 87.5% for patients with grade 2–3 without myometrial invasion (n=17), patients with grade 1 and superficial myometrial invasion (n=23), and patients with grade 2-3 and superficial myometrial invasion (n=8), respectively (P = 0.731). Their recurrence rates after a median follow-up time of 48 months (range, 7–136 months) were 23.1%, 47.1%, and 71.4%, respectively (P = 0.104). None experienced disease progression or died of the disease. Nine patients gave birth to 10 healthy babies. Conclusions: Progestin treatment is safe for patients with grade 2–3 without myometrial invasion and patients with grade 1 and superficial myometrial invasion. However, it should be provided on an individual basis and must be applied cautiously in patients with grade 2–3 and superficial myometrial invasion.
