A systematic review of fertility outcomes after uterine preserving management for endometrial cancer and hyperplasia (Metro Toronto Convention Centre - Hall E) - Mar 19, 2020 - Abstract #SGO2020SGO_2523; In total, 1,852 patients underwent fertility-sparing treatment in the form of oral medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) or megestrol acetate (MA), via the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS), intramuscular GnRH agonist, and aromatase inhibitors (AI)... Our review of the available evidence suggests that the pregnancy outcomes of fertility-sparing treatment for EAC and AH are favorable.

Clinical, Journal: Efficacy and Safety of Appetite-Stimulating Medications in the Inpatient Setting. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 2, 2020 Conclusion and Relevance: In inpatients, there was no difference in change in meal intake or weight between dronabinol, megestrol, or mirtazapine, but they may show numerical improvements in meal intake. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the use of dronabinol, megestrol, and mirtazapine initiated in the inpatient setting.

Clinical, Journal, HEOR: The effects of megestrol acetate on nutrition, inflammation and quality of life in elderly haemodialysis patients. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 2, 2020 To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the use of dronabinol, megestrol, and mirtazapine initiated in the inpatient setting. Our data suggest that MA can be effective in improving nutritional status and quality of life by increasing appetite in elderly haemodialysis patients with acceptable side effects; however, MA might not ameliorate inflammation.

Management of Androgen Deprivation Therapy-Associated Hot Flashes in Men With Prostate Cancer (Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center - Tower View Registration) - Feb 17, 2020 - Abstract #ONS2020ONS_661; SYNTHESIS: Pharmacologic interventions (e.g., cyproterone, medroxyprogesterone, megestrol acetate) showed some promise for reducing hot flashes but were associated with side effects and risks...IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH: Evidence is insufficient to support interventions for ADTassociated hot flashes in men with prostate cancer. Future RCTs should be sufficiently powered, include a control group, and use standardized outcome measures.

Importantly, MA should be prescribed with understanding that weight gain is predominantly adipose rather than muscle mass and that its safety is limited by potential HP axis dysfunction, namely adrenal and gonadal deficiencies.

Our findings suggest that the ESR1 Y537S hotspot mutation in LGESS, either pre-existing or acquired, may be associated with endocrine resistance and/or high-grade transformation in these lesions.

Journal: Occurrence and removal of progestagens in municipal wastewater treatment plants from different regions in China.

Finally, in the effluent of these 21 WWTPs, daily mass loadings of the total progestagens ranged from 0.51 to 10.4 g d. Notably, LNG exhibited high potential risk to the fish base on risk quotient.

Review, Journal: Megestrol acetate for cachexia-anorexia syndrome. A systematic review. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 17, 2019 MA vs. active drugs: MA patients gained weight (MD 2.5 kg, 95% CI [0.37, 4.64]) but did not gain QOL (MD 0.20 95% CI [-0.02, 0.43]) and did not report an increase in adverse events (RR 1.05 95% CI [0.95, 1.16]) or in deaths (RR 1.53, 95% CI [1.02, 2.29]) Different doses of MA: in studies where lower doses of MA were compared with higher doses of MA, we did not find differences either in weight gain (MD -0.94 kg, 95% CI [-3.33, 1.45]), QOL (MD 0.31 95% CI [-0.19, 0.81]), or adverse events (RR 1.34, 95% CI [0.65, 2.76]). Thus, we cannot reach a conclusion for an optimal dose of MA.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Thromboprophylaxis in cancer patients in hospice. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 1, 2019 ...Hospice patients are frequently given medications increasing VTE risk, for instance megestrol which is a drug commonly used in cancer cachexia...So far, most of the guidelines issued by oncological societies do not precisely refer to the problem of TPX in hospice patients. Therefore, the decisions on the implementation of anticoagulation should be taken individually, with previous assessment of VTE risk, comorbidities and possible hemorrhagic complications.
