A 21-year-old patient diagnosed with atypical endometrial hyperplasia and suffering from hypermenorrhea and dysmenorrhea for several months was initially treated with MPA ( Medroxyprogesterone acetate). A control dilation and curettage (D&C) after 4 months revealed early-stage, well-differentiated endometrioid endometrial carcinoma. Despite national guidelines recommending a hysterectomy, the nulliparous patient with a desire to have children requested an organ-preserving procedure and underwent polyendocrine therapy with Letrozole, Everolimus, Metformin and Zoladex. 43 months after diagnosis, the patient gave birth to a healthy child. To date, there have been no signs of recurrence. This case suggests that triple endocrine therapy may be an option for selected patients with early endometrial cancer and a desire for fertility-sparing therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
