Brief Summary: This phase II trial is studying how well medroxyprogesterone works in treating patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma cancer of the uterine corpus the body of the uterus not including the cervix Hormone therapy using medroxyprogesterone may be effective in treating endometrioid cancer
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
I Compare the efficacy of medroxyprogesterone in terms of induction of histologic response in patients with progesterone receptor-positive vs progesterone receptor-negative endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterine corpus
II Determine the early and late changes in gene expression at 72 hours and 21 days in patients treated with this drug
III Examine the mechanisms surrounding the dynamic changes in endometrial tumor cells by determining possible correlations among histologic response steroid receptor status immunohistochemical measures of growth and apoptosis and gene expression profiles in patients treated with this drug
OUTLINE This is a pilot multicenter study
Patients receive medroxyprogesterone intramuscularly once approximately 3 weeks before surgical hysterectomy
A subset of 15 patients has tissue collected by pipelle biopsy or curettage at baseline 72 hours after medroxyprogesterone therapy and during surgery for gene expression arrays
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter
