摘要:

Megestrol acetate is an orally active progestin of the 17a-aceloxyprogesterone type. In a series of 130 patients with recurrent or melastatic endometrial carcinoma, 81 were treated with megestrol acetate alone for at least 2 months. Of this number, 32 patients (39.5%) showed objective responses to therapy. A like number failed to respond to megestrol acetate, while 17 (21%) showed a partial response. Those patients with slow-growing, well-differentiated tumors generally responded best. Side effects were mild and infrequent.

摘要:

The clinical and pathologic findings in a series of 22 patients with dysgerminoma arc reported. The tumor was admixed with other malignant germ-cell neoplasms in 5 and with gonadoblastoma in 2. Most patients were under 30 years of age. Six presented with bilateral tumors, and in 7, metastases were present at operation. The patients were treated by surgery followed by radiotherapy, which was also very useful in the treatment of metastases and recurrences. Prognosis was worse when dysgerminoma was admixed with other malignant germ-cell neoplasms. In view of the radiosensitivity of dysgerminoma, an individual therapeutic approach is advocated, based on the clinical and operative findings, histologic composition of the tumor, patient's age and desire to preserve ovarian function.
