| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
16α-[18F]-fluoro-17β-estradiol (FES) is a radiopharmaceutical that binds to the estrogen receptor (ER) and is commonly used to prove the presence of ER-positive metastases. The aim of this study was to determine if FES positron emission tomography (PET) can predict the treatment response of fertility-sparing treatment with progestin in patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) and low-grade endometrial cancer (LGEC). The mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean) decreased greatly in patients with pathologically complete response (44.2%, 46.2%), while there was only a small change (22.5%) in the patient with pathologically stable disease. FES PET can be a non-invasive method to evaluate response to fertility-sparing progestin treatment.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
プロゲステロン製剤を用いたホルモン療法は、増加傾向にある若年子宮体癌患者に対する唯一の妊孕性温存療法だが、その約4割が増悪・再発すること、治療効果判定として行う侵襲的な子宮内膜操作により自然妊娠率が低いことが問題になっている。本研究を通して腫瘍のFES集積変化がホルモン療法の治療効果と相関する傾向にあることがわかり、FES-PET検査により、ホルモン療法が有効となる症例を適切に選択し、さらに侵襲的な内膜操作を減らすことで治療後の妊娠率の改善にもつながる可能性が示唆された。
