This retrospective study investigated the correlation between benign gynecologic conditions and hormone-dependent malignancies in postmenopausal women. The researchers analyzed 136 cases of endometrial carcinoma and compared them against a control group of 222 patients with uterine prolapse to determine the prevalence of uterine myomas and adenomyosis. The results indicated that postmenopausal women with endometrial cancer had a significantly higher prevalence of both uterine myomas and adenomyosis, approximately 1.5 to 2 times greater than that observed in the healthy control population. Relevance to endometriosis: adenomyosis is explicitly cited as being more prevalent in patients with endometrial carcinoma, linking this benign condition to malignant outcomes in the same anatomical region.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between benign gynecologic diseases and hormone-dependent malignancies such as endometrial carcinoma in postmenopausal women. DESIGN: We retrospectively analyzed the prevalence of myoma uteri and adenomyosis uteri in 136 cases of endometrial carcinomas. We used 222 uterine prolapse cases as controls. RESULTS: The results showed that 21.6% and 9.9% of healthy postmenopausal women (control) had myoma uteri and adenomyosis uteri, respectively, after the cessation of menses. However, postmenopausal women with endometrial carcinomas had a 1.5- to 2-fold higher prevalence, respectively, for myoma uteri and adenomyosis uteri as compared with the postmenopausal control women. CONCLUSION: There was a higher prevalence of myoma uteri and adenomyosis uteri in postmenopausal patients with endometrial carcinomas than in the control population.
