Is there an association between meningioma and hormone replacement therapy?
PURPOSE Molecular and clinical observations suggest a role of sex steroid hormones in the occurrence of meningioma. However, there is limited and often conflicting data on the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a possible risk factor for meningioma. The goal of this study was to investigate whether there is an association between a diagnosis of meningioma and either current or past HRT...
متن کاملAcute Progression of Recurrent Meningioma during Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone Agonist Treatment for Prostate Cancer.
BACKGROUND Meningiomas are the most common type of benign brain tumor, and the incidence of meningioma in women is more than twofold higher than in men. Several studies have demonstrated that hormones are somehow related to the growth of meningiomas. CASE DESCRIPTION A 72-year-old man with benign meningioma underwent tumor resection and had no recurrence for 18 years. He was found to have pro...
متن کاملProgression of Intracranial Meningioma during Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone Agonist Treatment for Prostate Cancer: Case Report
The authors describe a male patient who developed a large intracranial meningioma during the hormone therapy for pre-existing prostate cancer. A 70-year-old man received a brain check-up, and no intracranial abnormality was detected. Five months later, prostate cancer was diagnosed, and he underwent prostatectomy.

متن کاملSteroidal Hormone Receptor Expression in Male Breast Cancer
Introduction: The etiology of male breast cancer is unclear, but hormonal levels may play a role in development of this disease. It seems that the risk of male breast cancer related to increased lifelong exposure to estrogen or reduced androgen.
