Fifty patients (aged 62.4 ± 1.0) with endometrial cancer of varying severity and 20 practically healthy postmenopausal women (aged 68.0 ± 0.7) were examined. All patients underwent hormonal, biochemical, and echographic examinations.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. At the period of this study, 68 % of patients had stage I cancer, 30 % had stage II, and 2 % – stage III endometrial cancer. In the medical history of examined patients, the incidence of abortion was 46.8 %, the rate of childbirth – 70.0 %, the infertility rate – 14.9 % (n = 7). A statistically significant decrease in the luteinizing/follicle-stimulating hormone ratio (0.69 ± 0.09), an increase in the levels of prolactin (467.3 ± 35.1 ng/ml), dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (92.9 ± 14.4 pg/ml), estrone (101.60 ± 6.29 ng/ml), progesterone (1.90 ± 0.52 ng/ml), as well as a decrease in estradiol (17.4 ± 3.4 pg/ml) and total testosterone (0.50 ± 0.02 ng/ml) in comparison with the practically healthy postmenopausal women (control group) were found. According to the echographic examination, a pathological increase in the endometrium thickness (24.9 ± 2.7 mm) was detected against the background of uterus and ovaries enlargement. The biochemical parameters in patients with endometrial cancer in the postmenopausal period were within the normal range.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. The risk of endometrial cancer is high in elderly women with an increased body mass index. Evaluating of their hormone levels is of diagnostic and prognostic importance in endometrial cancer. Transvaginal sonography is an accurate diagnostic method for assessing the tumor invasion into the myometrium of patients with endometrial cancer.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Цель исследования</title><p>Цель исследования: определить информативность гормональных, биохимических, эхографических методов исследования в диагностике рака эндометрия (РЭ).</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. Обследовано 50 пациенток с РЭ в постменопаузе c различной стадией распространенности опухолевого процесса (средний возраст – 62,4 ± 1,0 лет) и 20 практически здоровых женщин в постменопаузальном периоде (средний возраст – 68,0 ± 0,7 лет). Всем женщинам были проведены гормональные, биохимические и эхографические исследования.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Изучение степени распространенности опухолевого процесса установило, что 68 % пациенток имели I стадию РЭ, 30 % – II и 2 % – III стадию, соответственно. В анамнезе больных была выявлена высокая частота искусственного прерывания беременности (46,8 %) и родов (70 %); частота бесплодия составила 14,9 % (n = 7). Обнаружено статистически значимое уменьшение соотношения лютеинизирующий/фолликулостимулирующий гормон (0,69 ± 0,09), повышение уровней пролактина (467,3 ± 35,1 нг/мл), дегидроэпиандростерон-сульфата (92,9 ± 14,4 пг/мл), эстрона (101,60 ± 6,29 нг/мл), прогестерона (1,90 ± 0,52 нг/мл), а также снижение содержания эстрадиола (17,4 ± 3,4 пг/мл) и общего тестостерона (0,50 ± 0,02 нг/мл) по сравнению с аналогичными показателями у женщин с неосложненным течением постменопаузального периода (контрольная группа). По данным эхографических исследований у больных РЭ установлено патологическое увеличение толщины эндометрия (24,9 ± 2,7 мм) на фоне увеличения размеров матки и яичников, а биохимические параметры не отличались от таковых у практически здоровых женщин в постменопаузе.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. У больных старшей возрастной группы с увеличенным индексом массы тела определен высокий риск РЭ. Изучение уровней гормонов подтвердило их важное диагностическое и прогностическое значение при РЭ. Трансвагинальное ультразвуковое исследование является значимым для оценки инвазии в миометрий в диагностике РЭ.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>постменопаузальный период</kwd><kwd>рак эндометрия</kwd><kwd>эндометрий</kwd><kwd>индекс массы тела</kwd><kwd>гиперэстрогения</kwd><kwd>эхография</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>postmenopausal period</kwd><kwd>endometrial cancer</kwd><kwd>endometrium</kwd><kwd>body mass index</kwd><kwd>hyperestrogenism</kwd><kwd>echography</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Честнова Г.П., Кулюшина Е.А., Абашин В.Г. и др.
