Overview

Primary end points:

This clinical trial is aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine System (LNG-IUS, Mirena®) in the fertility-sparing treatment of atypical endometrial hyperplasia and early endometrial carcinoma, including pathology response and pregnancy outcome.

Second end points:

To analyze the appearances of side-effects.
