Megestrol acetate in the management of cancer cachexia: a prospective quasi-experimental study focusing on body composition and patient-reported outcomes. (PubMed, Front Nutr)
MA significantly improves nutritional status and ameliorates cancer-related fatigue, thereby enhancing the quality of life in patients with cancer cachexia. Our findings provide robust evidence supporting the multi-dimensional benefits of MA in cachexia management, extending beyond mere weight gain to include muscle mass preservation and patient-centered symptom relief.

Efficacy of GnRH-a in combination with dienogest therapy in endometriosis and its effects in recurrence and pregnancy status. (PubMed, Asian Biomed (Res Rev News))
No marked discrepancies were found in the rates of miscarriage, multiple pregnancy, and ectopic pregnancy in both groups (P > 0.05). The efficacy of GnRH-a combined with Dienogest in the treatment of EMT is remarkable, which can effectively reduce the inflammatory response, sex hormone levels, and recurrence rate, and markedly improve pregnancy, which is worth promoting its use in the clinic.

Efficacy and Safety of Oral Progestogens (Megestrol Acetate and Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) in Heavily Pretreated Oestrogen Receptor-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer: A 10-Year Multi-Site Study. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Background: Oral progestogens, including megestrol acetate (MA) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), have largely been superseded by aromatase inhibitors, tamoxifen, and selective oestrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) in oestrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) metastatic breast cancer. While prior exposure to CDK4/6 inhibitors was associated with shorter PFS, patients without liver metastases appeared to derive the greatest benefit. These findings support a role for oral progestogens in selected patients who have exhausted standard therapeutic options.

Efficacy of Fertility-Sparing Treatment With Progestin Is Associated With Different Molecular Classification in Endometrial Carcinoma and Atypical Endometrial Hyperplasia. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
Molecular classification may serve as a predictive tool for the efficacy of fertility preservation therapy in patients with EC and AEH and was found to be particularly useful for identifying p53 mutants, which are associated with a high risk of recurrence, as well as MMRd types, which are known to lead to poor responses to progesterone treatment.

Progesterone resistance in atypical endometrial hyperplasia: Expression and mechanisms of hormone-responsive molecules. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
The coordinated dysregulation of these hormone-responsive and proliferation-related molecules highlights a fundamental hormonal imbalance and proliferative disruption in progesterone-resistant AEH. This study provides a molecular framework for understanding progesterone resistance and suggests potential targets, such as SOX7, for future therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring hormonal sensitivity and controlling disease progression in conservative fertility-sparing management.

Gestational progesterone restores menstrual cycle in PCOS patients via enhancing ovary estrogen production. (PubMed, Life Metab)
In addition, we found that progesterone administration reduced the thickness of the uterine endometrium in PCOS mice. Our findings suggest that sustained high levels of progesterone during pregnancy can enhance ovarian reproductive endocrine capacity and improve endometrial function, thereby facilitating the recovery of postpartum menstrual cycles.
