paywalled Primary fallopian tube carcinoma risk in users of postmenopausal hormone therapy in Finland
Primary fallopian tube carcinoma risk in users of postmenopausal hormone therapy in Finland: Publication year: 2012
Source:Gynecologic Oncology
Objective Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare malignancy and only sparse data exist on its possible association with postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT). We therefore studied this association in a nationwide cohort of Finnish HT users.
Conclusions The long-term, sequential use of EPT associates with an increased risk for PFTC. In absolute terms, 4 additional cases of PFTC would be detected in 10-year follow-up of 10,000 women who have used EPT for at least 5 years
