40岁以下子宫内膜腺癌患者的孕激素治疗--附六例报告及文献复习

目的 评价孕激素治疗40岁以下高分化、早期子宫内膜腺癌患者的有效性和安全性.方法回顾性分析复旦大学附属肿瘤医院1996年至2004年以孕激素治疗作为初次治疗的6例 40岁以下的高分化、早期子宫内膜腺癌患者的临床病理资料;同时检索近10年的国内外相关研究报道,发现相关病例56例,对以上两组资料进行综合分析.结果本组6例患者中,4例孕激素治疗有效,2例无效者行手术治疗.4例有效者中,2例分别于治疗后10个月和12个月出现复发而行手术治疗,故共有4例行子宫切除术,术后病理检查均未发现子宫外转移.6例患者随访至今均无瘤生存.文献报道的56例患者中,46例孕激素治疗有效,其中11例复发者中7例再次采用孕激素治疗,且5例再次获得完全缓解.此56例中,共有16例行手术治疗,15例无瘤生存,1例术后出现盆腔复发.本组6例患者治疗后无妊娠和分娩;文献报道的56例患者中,共有41次妊娠,并分娩40个婴儿,其中双胎4例,三胎2例.结论孕激素治疗40岁以下高分化、早期子宫内膜腺癌我们的经验尚少,虽难作评价,但国内外文献报道是安全可行的,并可达到妊娠和分娩的目的.

Endometrial adenocarcinoma in women 40 years old or younger by treatment with progestins: report of 6 cases and review of the literatures

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of fertility-sparing treatment with progestins in patients with well-differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma in women 40 years old or younger. METHODS: Six patients before the age of 40 diagnosed with grade I endometrial adenocarcinoma, who had undergone primary progestin treatment, were retrospectively studied. The clinical records and pathologic slides and the follow-up information were reviewed. Relevant articles describing patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma who were treated with hormonal therapy were searched. A total of 56 cases were found and used in integrated analysis. RESULTS: Four of six cases responded to treatment with normal pathology on follow-up endometrial samplings. Two patients had a recurrence within a period between 10 and 12 months. No response was noted in the other two cases, who were offered surgery. Therefore, a total of 4 patients ultimately underwent hysterectomy. None of these four patients had extrauterine metastasis on postoperation pathologic examination. All these six patients were alive without evidence of disease at last follow-up. According to literatures, 46 of 56 cases responded to hormonal treatment and 11 cases had a recurrence. Seven of the 11 patients who recurred were re-treated with progesterone. Five patients had a second complete response. Sixteen of the 56 patients underwent hysterectomy. One of the patients had a pelvic recurrence after operation. The others remained without evidence of disease. Six patients in author's group had neither pregnancy nor delivery. Among 56 patients described in literatures, there were 41 person-times pregnancies and 40 infants were delivered, including 4 twins and 2 triples. CONCLUSIONS: Progestin treatment is proved a safe and feasible therapy in well-differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma in women 40 years old or younger. This approach may provide the possibility of conceiving and carrying a pregnancy with the aid of assisted reproduction technology.
