Combined with severe medical disease or liver or kidney dysfunction: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels elevate to 3 times or more of the upper limit of normal, kidney dysfunction (creatinine clearance \<30 mL/min) 3. Patients with other types of endometrial cancer or other malignant tumors of the reproductive system; patients with breast cancer or other hormone-dependent tumors that cannot be used with progesterone. 4.
