Nineteen patients with simple endometrial hyperplasia presenting metrorrhagia or menometrorrhagia were treated with 4 injections of Goserelin depot, one every 4 weeks. 12/19 patients were refractory after previous medical therapy. The treatment with Goserelin depot resulted in a complete remission of the symptoms, occurring within the first month of treatment and still present after a median follow-up of 12 months, and in the normalization of the histological profile. No patient experienced clinically relevant side effects.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effectiveness of ovarian function suppression (OFS) of various gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) combined with aromatase inhibitors (AI) in premenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR-positive) breast cancer. Potential risk factors associated with insufficient OFS were analyzed.
Patients And Methods: Premenopausal HR-positive breast cancer patients who had received AI with GnRHa were studied retrospectively.

Objective: Real-word data on long-acting luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists in Chinese patients with prostate cancer are limited. This study aimed to determine the real-world effectiveness and safety of the LHRH agonist, goserelin, particularly the long-acting 10.8-mg depot formulation, and the follow-up patterns among Chinese prostate cancer patients.

Background: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression is an independent prognostic factor of poor prognosis and a predictor of efficacy of anti-HER2 therapy. A limited number of patients can receive standard second-line therapy (DS-8201 or T-DM1) for metastatic HER2-positive in some parts of the world, including China, due to many factors, such as cost-benefit ratios.
Case: A 51-year-old premenopausal woman was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer.

Study Question: Is it possible to reduce the cost of GnRH agonist treatment for endometriosis by using non-standard dosing regimens?
Summary Answer: An extended-interval dosing regimen of a 3.75 mg depot formulation of triptorelin injected every 6 weeks instead of every 4 weeks reduces the cost by one-third without compromising the effect on pain relief.
What Is Known Already: Cost constitutes a limit to prolonged GnRH agonists use.
