Abstract
Infertile women with chronic anovulation are prone to be exposed to unopposed
estrogen stimulation and have the high risk of being suffering from endometrial
hyperplasia or even endometrial carcinoma. A few reports have suggested that
nulliparous young women (under 40 yr of age) with endometrial carcinoma could
be treated conservatively to preserve fertility and succeed the live birth. We report
on a 36-yr-old woman who received conservative treatment of endometrial carcinoma
(stage I, grade 1) by curettage and progestin. After megestrol medication of
total 71,680 mg during 24 weeks, we found the regression of endometrial lesion by
curettage and hysteroscopic examination. Then we decided to perform in vitro fertilization
program. Two embryos were transferred and heterotypic pregnancy was
diagnosed 27 days after embryo transfer. After right salpingectomy, she received
routine obstetrical care and delivered by cesarean section at 38 weeks in gestational
periods. Two years after delivery, she is healthy without any evidence of recurrent
disease. The fertility preserving treatment is an option in endometrial cancer patients
if carefully selected, and assisted reproductive technologies would be helpful.
