Filter by:Through long-term dynamic monitoring of gynecologic malignant tumor patients undergoing early menopause after ovaries resection in our center, we explored the changes in menopausal symptoms and bone health status of this population, and studied the effects of platinum combined chemotherapy drugs on menopausal symptoms and bone loss in gynecologic malignant tumor patients. To find the optimal time point and effective regimen for MHT in gynecologic malignancies undergoing surgical menopause, and to provide guidance for osteoporosis screening and prevention strategies in women with gynecologic cancer.
About one third of all women during menopausal transition have significant climacteric symptoms with considerable impact on quality of life. Meta-analysis has shown a beneficial risk profile with menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) for women 50 to 60 years. Still, there is a great need to find safe MHT able to control excessive endometrial stimulation by estrogen without stimulatory effects on the breast by the combination of estrogen/progestogen. Recent observational studies indicate a lower risk for breast cancer using micronized progesterone (mP) combined with estrogen but increased risk of endometrial cancer than by standard MHT. In a randomized trial, the balance between benefits and risks of mP vs. progestogens (norethisterone (NETA)) in combination with estrogen will be explored. For apparent reasons, long-term largescale clinical trials with endometrial and breast cancer as the primary endpoints, are not feasible. However, much knowledge can be obtained using relevant surrogate markers. Mammographic breast density is a strong risk factor for breast cancer, and endometrial hyperplasia is a strong risk factor for endometrial cancer. The primary objective is to compare the effects of one year treatment with mP versus progestogen, in combination with estradiol on mammographic breast density. Furthermore, to evaluate the effect of one year treatment with mP in continuous combination with estradiol on endometrial pathology (hyperplasia and cancer).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component intervention to improve young breast cancer survivors' engagement in goal-concordant oncofertility care, concurrently with observing and gathering information on how the intervention is implemented. The investigators hypothesize that implementation of the intervention will result in increased young breast cancer survivors' engagement in goal-concordant oncofertility care.
