Hormone measurements during the menstrual cycle were assessed in six premenopausal women undergoing breast cancer surgery and ten controls to determine whether the stress of diagnosis and surgery influenced cycle characteristics. There was hormonal evidence for normal ovulation in all cancer and control women, although the length of the luteal phase of the cycle was prolonged because of a delay in menstruation in two cancer patients. The timing of surgery in the cycle did not influence the hormonal data. The hormonal characteristics of the menstrual cycle thus appear to be normally preserved in women during the month in which breast cancer surgery is performed.
对六名接受乳腺癌手术的绝经前女性和十名对照者在月经周期中的激素水平进行了评估,以确定诊断和手术带来的压力是否会影响月经周期特征。所有癌症患者和对照者均有激素证据表明排卵正常,不过两名癌症患者因月经推迟,导致月经周期的黄体期延长。手术在月经周期中的时间安排并未影响激素数据。因此,在进行乳腺癌手术的当月,女性月经周期的激素特征似乎正常保持。
