[Is a cure possible for primary state-I endometrial cancer using drug therapy?]
Abstract:
Data on 15 cases of primary endometrial carcinoma stage I (mean age - 26.0 years) cured by administration of hydroxyprogesterone capronate without surgery and radiation therapy are presented. Clinical recovery in 11 cases was confirmed by repeated cytological and histological examinations of the endometrium. Hydroxyprogesterone-capronate dose per course ranged within 25-83.0 g. In 4 cases of moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma, hormonal treatment was carried out in combination with chemotherapy. When tumor regression was confirmed histologically steroid contraceptives were administered to induce menstrual cycling artificially. At the closing stage of therapy estrogens and progestagens of clomiphen citrate were given in succession to restore ovulatory cycle. Prospects of administration of progestagens in certain cases among young patients with endometrial carcinoma stage 1 as a separate method of therapy are discussed.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
