Dilatasyon ve küretaj işleminin endometrial kanser invazyonu ve yayılımı üzerine etkisi

Öz

Amaç: Dilatasyon ve küretaj (D&C), kadın doğum alanında yaygın bir işlemdir. D&C'nin endometriumu tahrip etme olasılığı olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle, bu işlem plasenta adezyon-invazyon bozuklukları ve Asherman sendromu için bir risk faktörüdür. Dolayısıyla, D&C, endometriyal kanser (EK) invazyonu ve yayılımı için olası bir risk faktörü olarak düşünülebilir. Bu çalışma, D&C ile EK invazyonu arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmak üzere tasarlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kurumumuzun veri tabanı incelendi. Ocak 2015 ile Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasındaki tüm EK vakaları toplandı. D&C durumlarının geçmişi ve klinikopatolojik verileri belirlendi. D&C ile EK invazyonu arasındaki ilişki değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Bu çalışmaya toplam 172 EK hastası dahil edildi. 70 hastada %50'den fazla miyometriyal invazyon (%40,7) tanısı konuldu ve bunların 42'sinde (%24,4) en az bir D&C öyküsü vardı. Ancak, D&C ile EK miyometriyal invazyon arasındaki ilişki istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmadı (p=0,27). Ayrıca, gerçekleştirilen D&C öyküsü ile lenfovasküler alan invazyonu, lenf nodu invazyonu, peritoneal sitoloji ve evre arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (sırasıyla p değerleri 0,08, 0,43, 0,09, 0,53 idi). Sonuç: D&C, EK miyometriyal invazyonunu ve invazyonla ilişkili diğer parametreleri etkilemiyor gibi görünmektedir.
