Hormonal replacement therapy in ovarian cancer survivors: a survey among Greek gynecologists.

Abstract:

PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION:In this survey we evaluated the prescription attitude of Greek gynecologists towards hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for ovarian cancer survivors. METHODS:An anonymous questionnaire was sent to 900 members of the Hellenic Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology presenting a hypothetical case of an ovarian cancer survivor with indications for HRT followed by a series of relevant questions. RESULTS:Two hundred and ninety-eight responses were analyzed with regards to age, gender and practice setting. HRT would be prescribed by 48% of Greek gynecologists; regarding type of regimen, 60% would prescribe tibolone, 19% estrogen alone and 21% estrogen plus progestagen. In contrast, 52% of Greek gynecologists would not prescribe HRT due to the fear of ovarian cancer relapse (83%), or the development of breast cancer (6%), or both cancers (9%); among them, 21% would alternatively prescribe CNS medications, 9% SERMs, phyto-estrogens or bisphosphonates, while the remaining 70% would not prescribe anything. CONCLUSIONS:One out of two Greek gynecologists would prescribe HRT in ovarian cancer survivors. An alternative therapy, mainly CNS medications, would be suggested by 21% of the opposers.
