Abstract

Introduction/Background*The aim of our study is to evaluate the oncological and perinatal outcomes in young women diagnosed with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) or endometrial cancer (EC) treated with hormone therapy.

Methodology A single institutional ambispective study was performed including all patients diagnosed with AEH or EC grade 1 without myometrial invasion who received hormone therapy between January 2011 and July 2021. We analyzed the complete response rate and recurrence rate of disease and pregnancy rate in these patients as well as perinatal results (live births rate, type of delivery and perinatal morbidity). In addition, we evaluated complete response rate according to type of hormone therapy, dosage received and treatment length.

A review of literature was performed to identify studies involving patients with AEH or EC who received fertility sparing management.

All statistical analysis were performed using the software SPSS Statistics v.24.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA).

Result(s)*The results after final statistical analysis will be available when we complete the collection of follow-up data for conservatively treated patients.

Conclusion*Conservative management with progestins of young patients with AEH or EC grade 1 limited to the endometrium is an acceptable possibility given the high remission rate and live birth rates achieved. However, definitive surgical treatment cannot be avoided given the high recurrence rate described in the literature.
