Progestin Hormone Therapy for Endometrial Cancer
Why It Is Used
Progestin hormone therapy may be used to slow the growth of endometrial cancer. This may be done when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Or it may be done for a young woman with early-stage cancer so she can become pregnant in the future.
