Conclusion: Although routine transvaginal ultra- sound examination in asymptomatic postmeno- pausal women were not found as significant in screening of cancer, it can help in prediction and definition of risk group as an noninvasive method. 7

Abstract

Objective: We aimed to analyze the effectiveness of endometrial thickness evaluation by transvagi- nal ultrasonography in endometrial cancer diag- nosis, and the relation between endometrial can- cer risks and thickness. Material and methods: We investigated postmen- opausal women who vizited our menopause clinic in between June 2008 and August 2009 Results: We performed endometrial sampling to 54 patients whose endometrial thickness were over 5 mm. After histopathological examination we found 1 patient had atypic endometrial hy- perplasia, 14 patient had endometrial polyps,patients had findings of endometrial proliferation and 32 patients had normal histological findings. Postmenopausal patients having endometrial thickness over 5 mm were found to have statisti- cally higher incedence of diabetes and hyperten- sion with increased body mass index. Endome- trial thickness were found statistically thinner in patients who smoke and had previous hormonal treatment. Conclusion: Although routine transvaginal ultra- sound examination in asymptomatic postmeno- pausal women were not found as significant in screening of cancer, it can help in prediction and definition of risk group as an noninvasive method. 7

Özet

Amaç: Asemptomatik postmenopozal kadınlarda, transvajinal ultrasonografiografi (TV-USG) ile endometrial kalınlık değerlendirmesinin, endometrium kanserinin erken tanısındaki etkinliğini ve endometrial kalınlıkla endometrium kanseri risk faktörleri arasındaki ilişkiyi retro- spektif olarak araştırmayı amaçladık, Materyal ve Metod: S,B, İstanbul Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Menopoz Polikliniği’ne Haziran 2008- Ağustos 2009 tarihleri arasında rutin kontroller için başvuran asemptomatik postmenopozal kadınların, bilgisayar ve dosya kayıtları incelenerek retrospektif olarak yapıldı, Bulgular: Endometrial kalınlığı >5 mm bulu- nan 54 (%13,5) hastaya endometrial örnekleme yapıldı, Histopatolojik inceleme sonucunda, 1 vakada atipik kompleks hiperplazi (%0,3), 14 vakada endometrial polip (% 3,5), 7 vakada pro- liferasyon bulguları (% 1,8) ve 32 vakada (% 8) normal histolojik bulgular saptandı, Endometrial kalınlığı ≥ 5 mm olan postmenopozal hastalarda; diabetes mellitus, hipertansiyon ve yüksek vücut kitle indeksi istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede fazla bulundu, Daha önce hormon replasman te- davisi alanlar ve sigara kullanan vakalarda en- dometrial kalınlık diğerlerinden istatistiksel olar- ak anlamlı derecede ince bulundu, Sonuç: Asemptomatik postmenopozal kadınlarda rutin TV-USG, kanser tarama yöntemi olarak anlamlı bulunmasa da postmenopozal riskli grubun tanımlanması ve takibinde invazif olmay- an, tanıya yardımcı bir yöntemdir,
