Summary

This study looks at whether women with a rare, slow-growing uterine cancer (low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma) can safely stop taking their hormone-blocking pills (aromatase inhibitors) after long-term use. Half the participants will stop the pills and half will continue, and researchers will track how long the cancer stays under control. The goal is to see if a break from medication can reduce side effects without worsening the disease.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age≥18 years; * Histological confirmation of low grade ESS; * Locally advanced or metastatic disease at diagnosis or patient experiencing a tumor effraction during hysterectomy; * Treatment with aromatase inhibitors (Anastrozole or Exemestane or Letrozole ) initiated either: for at least 24 months (in patients with no residual disease or non-measurable disease at the last AI initiation) OR for at least 36 months (in patients with measurable disease at the last AI initiation); * Disease must be controlled at the time of the randomisation (objective response or stable disease) by the aromatase inhibitor initiated either for at least 24 or 36 months * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) ≤ 2 * Covered by a medical insurance; * Signed informed consent prior to any study-specific procedure.
