Clinical guideline, Journal: SEOM clinical guidelines for cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome (2023). (Pubmed Central) - Oct 11, 2024 While pharmacological agents like megestrol acetate may be considered, their use requires careful evaluation of potential risks. At its core, this review underscores the imperative for a holistic and personalized approach to managing CACS, integrating nutritional interventions and pharmacological strategies based on a nuanced understanding of patient's condition.

METASTATIC ENDOMETRIOID ADENOCARCINOMA IN THE LUNGS 14 YEARS AFTER HYSTERECTOMY FOR NONCANCEROUS ETIOLOGY (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Rapid Fire Area 4A) - Sep 11, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_6687; Our patient was incidentally found to have diffuse pulmonary nodules and was ultimately diagnosed with metastatic endometrioid adenocarcinoma despite undergoing a hysterectomy for non-cancerous reasons over 14 years prior. A thorough evaluation prior to organ donation or transplantation is crucial to optimizing outcomes.

Review, Journal: Antitumor progestins activity: Cytostatic effect and immune response. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 17, 2024 Such progestins as dienogest, megestrol acetate and levonorgestrel increase the activity of NK-cells, which play a major role in the body's fight against tumor cells. The use of existing progestins and the development of new drugs with gestagenic activity may hold promise in oncotherapy.

MILIARY NODULES: WHEN YOU HEAR HOOFS BUT IT'S A ZEBRA (Convention Center 256) - Jul 31, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_536; Patient was referred back to her oncologist who started her on alternating treatment of Tamoxifen and Megestrol. In conclusion, this case highlights the importance of maintaining pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma as a differential for miliary nodules in the appropriate patient population of not only reproductive age females - even as the presenting symptom [3] - but also post-menopausal women with a prior history of leiomyoma.

Journal: Correlation between steroid receptor expression and response to progestational therapy in patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia or cancer. (Pubmed Central) - May 3, 2024 Retrospective cohort study collected data for patients with AEH or EMCA who had an endometrial sample after receiving conservative therapy utilizing either Megestrol acetate or Levonorgestrel Intrauterine device (IUD). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on pre- and post- treatment biopsy samples to assess androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor (ER), and progesterone receptor (PR) expression...Patients who successfully responded to the treatment demonstrated a significantly greater decrease in IHC scores after the treatment compared to those who did not respond (p

Clinical, Review, Journal: Metformin for endometrial hyperplasia. (Pubmed Central) - May 2, 2024 Review authors found insufficient evidence to either support or refute the use of metformin, specifically megestrol acetate, given alone or in combination with standard therapy, for the treatment of women with endometrial hyperplasia. Robustly designed and adequately powered randomised controlled trials, yielding long-term outcome data are still needed to address this clinical question.

Journal: Pharmacologic therapeutics in sarcopenia with chronic kidney disease. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 23, 2024 AST-120 prevented IS and PCA tissue accumulation, ameliorated muscle atrophy, improved exercise capacity and mitochondrial biogenesis, restored epithelial tight junction proteins, and reduced plasma endotoxin levels and markers of oxidative stress and inflammation. In a human study, the addition of AST-120 to standard treatment had modest beneficial effects on gait speed change and quality of life.

Review, Journal: Addressing cancer anorexia-cachexia in older patients: Potential therapeutic strategies and molecular pathways. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 5, 2024 This review aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underpinning CC, with a particular focus on the role of anorexia in exacerbating muscle wasting, and to propose pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies to mitigate this syndrome, particularly emphasising the needs of an older demographic. Future research targeting CC should focus on refining appetite-stimulating drugs with fewer side-effects, specifically catering to the needs of older patients, and investigating nutritional factors that can either enhance appetite or minimise suppression of appetite in individuals with CC, especially within this vulnerable group.

Molecular Classification In Patient With Endometrial Cancer Undergoing Fertility Preserving Approach. (Poster area) - Jan 18, 2024 - Abstract #ESGO2024ESGO_930; Squamous metaplasia was detected in 6 cases.The type of progesterone used in the treatment was megestrol asetat in 11 (68%) patients and megestrol asetat+LNG IUD in 5 cases...There is a need for further study on other molecular features that can predict prognosis and treatment response in the NSMP group. Response rates to progesterone treatment in cases with squamous metaplasia should also be evaluated in larger series.
