title: Successful pregnancies in 2 infertile patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma.
abstract: Two infertile patients with well-differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma succeeded in having their own babies with assisted reproductive technology following treatment with a high dose of medroxyprogesterone acetate and repeated endometrial curettages. Their follow-up pathological examinations revealed no evidence of recurrent disease. Consequently, conservative treatment may be indicated in patients with well-differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma at an early stage who desire to preserve their fertility.
