Oestrogen excretion and ovarian pathology in postmenopausal women with atypical hyperplasia, adenocarcinoma and mixed adenosquamous carcinoma of the endometrium.

Urinary oestrogen and pregnanediol excretion were measured before and after hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in 26 postmenopausal women with adenocarcinoma of the endometrium, 10 postmenopausal women with mixed adenosquamous carcinoma and 11 postmenopausal women with atypical hyperplasia (the patient groups). The results were compared with the values obtained in 22 active postmenopausal women, 20 hospitalized postmenopausal women and 18 women who had been subjected to hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for cancer of the cervix (the control groups). The ovaries and Fallopian tubes obtained at operation were examined for evidence of current or past excessive oestrogen production. Preoperative oestrogen values were higher in the patient groups than in the controls and the elevated values persisted after oophorectomy. The implications of these findings are discussed.[1]
