Abstract

Progestin therapy is the main fertility-sparing treatment for women with endometrial cancer (EC) and atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH). However, still 15-25% of these women failed to achieve complete response (CR) and then lost their fertility after definitive surgery. Metformin has been demonstrated to play an anti-cancer role in multiple cancers including EC. Several studies also suggested metformin had potential benefit in improving the therapeutic outcome of fertility-preserving treatment alongside with progestin.
