Abstract
The specific Italian Group of Study of the Menopause formulated a consensus opinion on the use of estrogen therapy (ET) or combined estro-progestin hormone therapy (HT) after breast and gynecological cancers. This consensus is based on the risk of recurrence of the specific cancer during ET/HT, the presence of steroid receptors in cancer cells, the use of adjuvant hormone therapies and data on the use of ET/HT after cancer. The following positions were reached. ET/HT can be used after vulvar cancers and melanoma, but with great caution after the rare adenocarcinomas. ET/HT can be used after cervical cancer, but ET should be used with caution after adenocarcinomas. ET/HT can be used after International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO) stage I-II estrogen-dependent endometrial cancers, except in Black women, and can probably be used after estrogen-independent endometrial cancers. ET/HT cannot be administered or should be used with great caution after most uterine sarcomas. ET/HT can probably be used after ovarian neoplasms except for granulosa cell tumors, and with great caution after low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma and serous borderline ovarian tumors. ET/HT can be used with great caution in women after estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR)-positive breast cancer and is probably allowed after ER/PR-negative breast cancer.
期刊介绍:
Climacteric is the official journal of the International Menopause Society (IMS). As an international peer-reviewed journal it publishes original research and reviews of all aspects of aging in women.
Climacteric was founded by the IMS in 1998 and today has become a leading journal in the publication of peer-reviewed papers on the menopause, climacteric and mid-life health. Topics covered include endocrine changes, symptoms attributed to the menopause and their treatment, hormone replacement and alternative therapies, lifestyles, and the counselling and education of peri- and postmenopausal women. Climacteric, published bimonthly, also features regular invited reviews, editorials and commentaries on recent developments.
The editorial review board of Climacteric includes leading scientific and clinical experts in the field of midlife medicine and research and is headed by its Editor-in-Chief, Professor Rod Baber of Australia. He and his team of Associate Editors act independently to set a clear editorial policy, co-ordinate peer review, and ensure a rapid response to submitted papers.
