Objectives:
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is considered for ovarian cancer patients who develop menopausal symptoms, dyslipidemia, and osteoporosis due to iatrogenic menopause caused by surgery or anticancer drug treatment. However, there have been few reports on HRT administration methods and those that evaluate cancer recurrence and complications of HRT.
Methods:
We examined the administration method, adverse reactions and cancer recurrence in 28 patients who received HRT after ovarian cancer surgery at our hospital.
Results:
All patients received estradiol monotherapy, and cancer recurrence was observed in four patients (14.3%); adverse reactions included skin eruption in two patients (7.1%), there were no other serious adverse reactions noted.
Conclusion:
The method and duration of HRT administration and the timing of HRT discontinuation remain debated. Thus, a large-scale survey and standardization of HRT administration methods after ovarian cancer surgery in Japan are needed.

01:30Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
