A Study on the Recurrence Factors of Endometrial Lesions in Patients Undergoing Hysteroscopy After Breast Cancer Surgery
摘要
Patients receiving endocrine therapy after breast cancer surgery exhibit a high incidence of endometrial lesions, yet corresponding measures to prevent recurrence of lesions remain inadequate. This study aims to investigate the correlation between endometrial lesion recurrence and multiple factors, with the goal of reducing recurrence risks and improving patient outcomes.
MethodsRetrospective analysis of clinical data of 314 patients with breast cancer who underwent hysteroscopy after surgery was reviewed from August 2014 to August 2024. The status of ultrasound follow-up in these patients after hysteroscopic treatment was retrospectively reviewed to determine the recurrence outcomes. The column chart predicting endometrial lesion recurrence risk was constructed by R language. The Kaplan–Meier Curve and Log-Rank Test were employed to further analyze the correlation between medication duration and endometrial recurrence risk.
ResultsThe recurrence rate of endometrial lesions in toremifene (TOR) group was significantly higher (78.6% VS control group: 12.4%), and the usage of TOR, age, non-benign endometrial lesions, increased endometrial thickness, increased size of polyps, history of adenomyosis and uterine fibroids were significantly correlated with the recurrence rate of endometrial lesions. Survival analysis showed a median recurrence-free survival time of 49 months for patients using TOR.
ConclusionPatients using TOR are prone to endometrial lesions, especially young patients who use TOR drugs for a long time. The larger the polyp and the thicker the endometrium, the higher the risk of recurrence of endometrial lesions. Furthermore, enhanced endometrial monitoring is recommended during the initial four-year high-risk period.
