[The effect of hydroxyprogesterone caproate and its combination with tamoxifen on steroid hormone receptors in the tumor and on the basic parameters of reproductive homeostasis in patients with cancer of the corpus uteri].

Oxyprogesterone capronate (OPC) was administered preoperatively to 46 patients with endometrial tumors and tamoxifen (T) + OPC--to 72 patients. Complex treatment was followed by more pronounced pathomorphosis in tumor. Both schedules inhibited gonadotropin secretion and lowered colpocytoscopic indexes. Dual effect of complex treatment (T + OPC) on the level of cytoplasmic receptors to progesterone was observed. Initially low levels rose while high ones dropped by the end of a 20-day course. Progestin treatment in endometrial carcinoma patients with relatively low estrogen levels should be complemented with tamoxifen to stimulate tumor sensitivity to progestagens.
