Purpose: To assess the long-term natural history of simple ovarian cysts diagnosed in postmenopausal patients with breast carcinoma treated with tamoxifen citrate.
Materials And Methods: Of 332 postmenopausal women with breast cancer who were treated with tamoxifen, 32 (9.6%) had simple ovarian cysts.
Article Synopsis
- Ultrasonography isn't very effective for spotting endometrial issues in postmenopausal patients on tamoxifen.
- Significant differences were found between two sets of patients: one with increased endometrial thickness and one without, showing higher pathology rates in the first group after further ultrasound tests.
- The study concluded that an increase in endometrial thickness in these patients is linked to a higher likelihood of endometrial pathology, including cancer.
