AbstractNonsurgical fertility-preserving treatment of well-differentiated endometrial cancer with systemic progestins has been described for young women who desire to preserve their fertility. The overall response to progestin treatment in 9 retrospective studies is 79% with 79 subsequent live births. Recurrence can be expected in approximately 36–40% of conservatively treated patients who initially responded. Synchronous ovarian cancer has been reported in approximately 9%. However, amongst 162 receiving systemic, continuous treatment with progestins no death caused by cancer has been reported. We review guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up in young women undergoing conservative treatment for endometrial cancer.Copyright © 2006 S. Karger AG, Basel |
