It is well known that the proliferation of endometrial adenocarcinoma is inhibited by progestogens. We often use medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) as endocrine therapy for advanced endometrial carcinoma. In the present study, we administered 400-600mg of MPA/day on 14 days as a progestogen challenge test (PCT) to 37 cases of endometrial carcinoma. We analysed the variation in the percentage of S phase cells by flow cytometry and also conducted an immunohistochemistry analysis with anti-BrdU monoclonal antibody before and after the administration of MPA. The percentage of S phase cells in endometrial carcinoma tended to decrease with much greater variation after PCT than before. The percentage of BrdU positive cells tended to decrease after PCT. The cases with a good histological effect such as 1) basal vacuolization 2) clear staining cytoplasm 3) homogenus finding of cells and nucleus by PCT had a better prognosis than the cases with no histological effect due to PCT.
