To determine knowledge of gynecologic cancer risk and screening in women with HNPCC.
Forty-three women with HNPCC were counseled through a gastrointestinal cancer risk program, and later sent a questionnaire regarding their screening practices for gynecologic neoplasms.
Twenty-seven (63%) of 43 responded. Fifteen (55%) of 27 had previously been diagnosed with cancer. Among 16 women with a uterus, 11 (69%) reported surveillance by ultrasound or endometrial sampling. Among 21 respondents with ovaries, 13 (62%) reported screening by ultrasound or CA125. Twenty-two (81%) of 27 had seen a gynecologist after receiving their HNPCC diagnosis, but only 12% recalled hearing about risks from their gynecologist, and 8% from their gynecologic oncologist. Genetic counselors were cited as the most common source (48%) of gynecologic cancer risk information.
While the effectiveness of surveillance remains in question, gynecologists can be a source of information regarding gynecologic cancer risk for women from HNPCC families.
确定遗传性非息肉病性结直肠癌(HNPCC)女性患者对妇科癌症风险及筛查的了解情况。
通过一项胃肠道癌症风险项目对43名HNPCC女性患者进行咨询,随后向她们发送了一份关于其妇科肿瘤筛查做法的调查问卷。
43名患者中有27名(63%)做出回应。27名患者中有15名(55%)之前被诊断患有癌症。在16名有子宫的女性中,11名(69%)报告通过超声或子宫内膜取样进行监测。在21名有卵巢的受访者中,13名(62%)报告通过超声或CA125进行筛查。27名患者中有22名(81%)在被诊断为HNPCC后看过妇科医生,但只有12%的人记得从妇科医生那里听说过相关风险,8%的人记得从妇科肿瘤医生那里听说过。遗传咨询师被认为是妇科癌症风险信息最常见的来源(48%)。
虽然监测的有效性仍存在疑问,但妇科医生可以成为为HNPCC家族女性提供妇科癌症风险信息的来源。
