title: [Combination with medroxyprogesterone acetate and chemotherapy making possible complete removal of uterine corpus carcinoma].
abstract: A case of uterine corpus carcinoma (stage III) after surgical resection of her primary lesion was treated with a medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and PAE (CDDP, adriamycin and etoposide) regimen. The patient has been given MPA during a three-month period and received four courses of PAE regimen. The residual tumor was decreased and removed completely at the second-look operation. Pathologically, the carcinoma cells were clearly changed in loss of atrophy or degeneration by MPA or PAE regimen. After the second-look operation, the patient underwent 4 courses of PAE regimen and was given MPA continuously. We have not recognized any recurrence of carcinoma for seven months after the second look operation.
