Management of Tubal Pregnancy With Off-label Use of Letrozole in Monotherapy

Name
1072.6120.321.2020
Description
It is hypothesized that the inhibition of estradiol production by letrozole may interfere with physiological effects of progesterone necessary to maintain the pregnancy. Treatment of tubal pregnancy with letrozole would allow to avoid the adverse effects of methotrexate (MTX) in women refusing surgery. The aim was to compare the effectiveness of letrozole with MTX in the management of tubal pregnancy.
