Tamoxifen is known to raise the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer. There is virtually limited literature on how to handle Tamoxifen-induced endometrial hyperplasia (EH) in a breast cancer survivor. Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) has been explored as preventive strategies, but its impact on breast cancer recurrence especially in Progesterone receptor (PR)-positive patient is not clear. Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) have shown beneficial results in EH after tamoxifen and their role should be explored in further trials.
他莫昔芬已知会增加子宫内膜增生和癌症的风险。实际上,关于如何处理乳腺癌幸存者中他莫昔芬引起的子宫内膜增生(EH)的文献非常有限。左炔诺孕酮宫内释放系统(LNG-IUS)已被探索作为预防策略,但它对乳腺癌复发的影响,特别是在孕激素受体(PR)阳性患者中并不明确。芳香化酶抑制剂(AIs)在他莫昔芬后 EH 中显示出有益的结果,它们的作用应该在进一步的试验中进行探索。
