ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of hysteroscopic curettage combined with progestin therapy in young patients with early-stage endometrial cancer (EC) and endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH) who wished to preserve their fertility.METHODS:
This prospective cohort study included 16 patients with early-stage EC and 25 patients with EAH in Dalian Maternal and Child Health Hospital from August 2014 to October 2018. All patients received fertility-sparing therapy with hysteroscopic evaluation every 3 months until achieving complete response (CR). Demographic, clinical, and pathological data follow-up information as well as fertility outcomes was analyzed.RESULTS:
There were 92.6% (37/41) patients who achieved CR. The mean treatment duration to CR was 7.47 ± 2.91 months. BMI ≤ 30 kg/m2 was associated with shorter treatment duration to achieve CR (P = 0.003). Among the patients who attempted to conceive, 30.3% (10/33) had successful pregnancy, and 18.2% (6/33) delivered live births. The implementation of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is closely associated with pregnancy (P = 0.001).CONCLUSION:
The fertility-sparing therapy, hysteroscopic curettage combined with progestin therapy, of early young EC and EAH patients is safe and effective. BMI is the main factor affecting the duration of CR. After achieving CR, ART can significantly improve the pregnancy rate of these patients.Palavras-chave
