Description

The incidence of endometrial cancer is increasing at an alarming rate. This trend parallels the rising rate of obesity, the most significant risk factor for endometrial cancer. Young women with obesity and endometrial cancer or atypical hyperplasia who want to maintain their fertility are treated with progestin therapy, such as progestin intra-uterine device (pIUD), which is associated with a mediocre response rate and high recurrence rate, and does not address the underlying cause, obesity. Therefore, the investigators want to assess whether the addition of a weight-loss drug to pIUD will improve their oncologic, reproductive and metabolic outcomes.

Interventions

  • Wegovy (Drug)
    Weekly subcutaneous injection of 0.25 mg semaglutide at baseline with dose escalation every 4 weeks to reach 2.4 mg or the maximum tolerated dose, by Week 16
  • Mirena (Drug)
    Levonorgestrel-releasing Intrauterine System (52mg) to deliver up to 20 mcg levonorgestrel per day
