Estrogen-alone therapy (ET) or estrogen and progestin (EPT) as menopausal hormone therapy (HT) has been commonly used to alleviate menopausal symptoms. Treatments containing > or = 10 days per month of progestin are considered relatively safe with respect to endometrial cancer risk. However, the endometrial safety of long-term EPT regimens is uncertain. We conducted a case-control study of 311 ...
متن کاملCytochrome P450 1B1 gene polymorphisms and postmenopausal endometrial cancer risk.
Estrogen unopposed by progestins is a key factor in endometrial cancer etiology. Cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1), responsible for the 4-hydroxylation of estrogen, may be important in endometrial carcinogenesis, either as a regulator of estrogen availability or as a producer of potentially genotoxic estrogen metabolites. We investigated the association of CYP1B1 genotype and endometrial cancer risk...

Insulin resistance is a well-documented risk factor for the development of endometrial cancer. Adiponectin and vaspin are insulin-sensitizing proteins that are secreted from adipose tissue. A clear association between serum levels of adipokines and endometrial cancer has yet to be established. The study group consisted of postmenopausal women with confirmed endometrial cancer, whereas patients ...
