Abstract
e18025 Background: Young patients with early stages of gynecological cancers often go through surgical menopause which worsens the quality of life affecting social, sexual, psycho-emotional, cognitive spheres, and causes somatic diseases rare in a young age. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of medical and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in patients with endothelial (EC) and cervical cancers (CC) of the reproductive age after surgical treatment. Methods: Clinical data and adaptive reactions were studied in 346 patients with stage Ia-IIa EC and CC aged 20-45 years after combination treatment. Patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 – 192 patients, estrogen/gestagen HRT; group 2 – 112 patients, treatment with phytoestrogens; group 3 – 42 patients choosing not to have any adjuvant therapy. The Kupperman index was used to evaluate the severity of a post-castration syndrome. Results: In group 1, 158 women (82.3%) showed normal somatic and psychoemotional status and adequate cognitive functions, the Kupperman index ≤20; 34 (17.7%) patients of group 1 needed additional sedation, the Kupperman index = 30; adaptive reactions included reactions of training and adaptation. In group 2, 112 patients (100%) demonstrated moderate hormonal imbalance signs: vegetative and emotional disorders, decreased libido, manifestations of the metabolic syndrome, the Kupperman index = 30-35; adaptive reactions included reactions of training and stress. All patients of group 3 (n = 42) developed metabolic disorders shortly after surgical castration, with social, sexual and psycho-emotional disadaptation, the Kupperman index = 35 (reactions of stress). Conclusions: Combination HRT after surgical castration contributes to full adaptation in the social, sexual, psycho-emotional spheres of life in patients of the reproductive age, restoring the quality of life without affecting the prognosis.
