Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This observational study aims to evaluate the obstetric and oncological outcomes of patients diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma (EAC) or atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) who underwent conservative treatment at the CLASS Hysteroscopy Center of Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS in Rome. Eligible patients include women who received hysteroscopic surgery and hormonal therapy either to preserve fertility or due to medical contraindications to standard radical surgery. Follow-up lasts 12 months.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a monocentric cohort study conducted at the CLASS Hysteroscopy Center of Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS in Rome. It includes women diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma (EAC) or atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) who underwent conservative treatment using standardized hysteroscopic techniques performed by a single surgeon. The intervention consists of hysteroscopic lesion resection, insertion of a 52 mg levonorgestrel-releasing IUD, and in selected cases oral progestin therapy with Megestrol Acetate. The study includes both women desiring fertility preservation and patients medically unfit for radical surgery. Follow-up includes hysteroscopic biopsies at 3, 6, and 12 months. The primary objective is to assess obstetric outcomes, with secondary endpoints including oncologic outcomes.

Conservatively Treated Patients

Conservatively Treated Patients with Endometrial Cancer and Atypical Endometrial Hyperplasia

Hysteroscopic Resection and Hormonal Therapy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Patients underwent hysteroscopic resection of atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) or grade 1-2 endometrial adenocarcinoma (EAC) using a 15 Fr mini-resectoscope. Depending on the case, the procedure included visual D\&C or a combined technique. At the end of the procedure, a 52 mg levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) was inserted. In patients with EAC G2 or poor prognostic markers (e.g., MMR deficiency), oral progestin therapy with Megestrol Acetate (160 mg daily) was added. Follow-up included hysteroscopic endometrial biopsy at 3, 6, and 12 months to assess response.
