ÖZET
Amaç: Kesintisiz kombine hormon replasman tedavi rejimleri alan postmenopozal kadınlarda mammografik dansite değişikliklerini belirlemek.Çalışmanın yapıldığı yer: Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Anabilim Dalı, Bornova, İzmir.Materyal ve Metod: Kesintisiz kombine hormon replasman tedavisi olarak 2 mg östradiol (E2) + 1 mg noretisteron asetat (NETA) (n=47) veya 0.625 mg konjuge östrojen (CEE) + 2.5 mg medroksiprogesteron asetat (MPA) (n=27) kullanan 74 postmenopozal kadının mammografileri retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Mammografik dansite Wolfe sınıflamasına uygun olarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı 57.8±3.7 yıl idi. Tedavi öncesi ile ilk vizit arasında geçen ortalama süre 16.3±4.7 ay, ikinci vizit için ise 30.2±7.8 ay idi. Ortalama mammografik takip süresi 22.5±5.8 ay (12 ile 60 ay arasında) idi. E2 + NETA tedavisi alan gurupta mammografik dansite artışı %36 (17/47), konjuge östrojen + MPA alan gurupta ise %25.9 (7/27) olarak bulundu (p=0.36, c2=0.82). Sonuç: Her iki kesintisiz kombine hormon replasman tedavi rejimi mammografik dansiteyi arttırmaktadır. Bu iki tedavi rejimi ile meydana gelen mammografik dansite artışları arasında istatistiksel anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmedi.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the degree of changes in mammographic breast densities in postmenopausal women receiving continuous combined hormone replacement therapy regimens. Institution: Ege University School of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Bornova, İzmir.Material and Methods: The mammographies of 74 postmenopausal women receiving 2 mg estradiol (E2) combination with 1 mg norethisterone acetate (NETA) (n=47) or 0.625 mg conjugated estrogen combination with 2.5 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate (n=27) were evaluated retrospectively. Mammographic density was quantified according to the Wolfe classification. Results: The mean age of the patients was 57.8±3.7 years. The mean time interval from baseline to the first visit was 16.3±4.7 months and to the second visit was 30.2±7.8 months. The mean duration of mammographic follow-up was 22.5±5.8 months (range 12-60 months). In continuous combined postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy with E2 + norethisterone acetate, the increase in mammographic density was 36% (17 of 47), followed by CEE + medroxyprogesterone acetate 25.9% (7 of 27) (p=0.36, c2=0.82).Conclusion: Our findings showed that both continuous combined hormone replacement regimens increase mammographic density; however, there was no statistically significant difference between the treatments.
