BRCA2 Mutated Recurrent Adult Granulosa Cell Tumor Treated with PARP Inhibitor (Exhibition / Poster Area) - Oct 9, 2022 - Abstract #ESMOAsia2022ESMO_Asia_964; Unlike epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) BRCA mutations have not been reported in aGCT. In our patient, multiple platinum-sensitive recurrences similar to EOC and subsequent finding of BRCA2 mutation makes a case for further investigation of such aberrations in aGCT with possible therapeutic implications.

Review: Oncological outcomes in fertility-sparing treatment in stage IA-G2 endometrial cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 4, 2022 A total of 103 patients were included and treated with a combination of LNG-IUD plus megestrol acetate (MA) or medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) plus MPA/MA, hysteroscopic resectoscope (HR), and dilation and curettage (D&C)...It can be employed for patients with early-stage diseases motivated to maintain reproductive function. Indeed, the results are encouraging, but the sample size must be increased.

Review, Journal: Appetite stimulants for people with cystic fibrosis. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 30, 2022 We included four trials (70 participants) comparing appetite stimulants (cyproheptadine hydrochloride and megestrol acetate) to placebo; the numbers of adults or children within each trial were not always reported...Future trials of appetite stimulants should use a validated measure of symptoms including a disease-specific instrument for measuring poor appetite. This review highlights the need for multicentred, adequately powered, and well-designed trials to evaluate agents to safely increase appetite in people with cystic fibrosis and to establish the optimal mode of treatment.

Evaluation of the Use of Appetite Stimulants in Pediatric Patients with Cystic Fibrosis (Exhibit Hall- RFPT A) - Sep 13, 2022 - Abstract #NACFC2022NACFC_693; Weight z-scorecontinued to trend up from 3 to 6 months and plateaued from 6 to 12months. Cyproheptadine was associated with improvement in pulmonaryfunction in the first 3 months of therapy, which supports the relationshipbetween weight gain and better pulmonary function in people with CF.These findings suggest that appetite stimulants contribute to weight gainin children with CF, particularly within the first 3 months of therapy.

To Be Colorectal or Not to Be? That Is the Question (Crown Ballroom) - Sep 4, 2022 - Abstract #ACG2022ACG_3037; Prostate cancer can invade the rectum through lymphatic involvement, through direct invasion, or rarely through seeding status post needle biopsy. Although rare, it is crucial to consider prostatic rectal metastases when seeing patients with new-onset gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. obstruction or bleeding) and a history of advanced prostate cancer.

Journal: Fertility-Sparing Management May Be Considered in Young Women with Uterine Sarcoma. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 27, 2022 Six patients received adjuvant treatment: megestrol (n = 5) and chemotherapy (n = 1)...Fertility-sparing management may be considered in some patients with uterine sarcoma; however, it may not be appropriate in high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. Patients with adenosarcoma may have a low chance of childbearing.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Uterine sparing management in patients with endometrial cancer: a narrative literature review. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 24, 2022 Evaluations at three and six months could be performed by office endometrial biopsy and/or hysteroscopic directed biopsy especially in the presence of levonorgestrel intrauterine system, and in cases of remission, either a pregnancy attempt or maintenance therapy should be considered. After childbearing, hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is recommended, whereas ovarian preservation could be considered depending on the patient's age and whether they fulfil the strict criteria selection.

Retrospective data, Journal: Efficacy and Safety of Megestrol in the Hospitalized Older Person. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 3, 2022 Conclusion In older hospitalized patients, megestrol did not increase weight, and did not improve albumin. No thromboembolic events were observed, but this may be because of a limited duration of observation of therapy and the routine use of anticoagulation prophylaxis in the inpatient setting.

An alternative is the administration of estrogen receptor modulators (e.g., SERMs) or aromatase inhibitors, or GnRH agonists.
