Abstract
© 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Objective: To determine the risk of endometrial neoplasia in relation to endometrial thickness and to evaluate factors influencing endometrial thickness in reproductive-aged Thai women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: The present cross-sectional study was done at the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand, between October 1, 2010, and January 31, 2013. We recruited women (aged ≥18 years) with PCOS diagnosed according to the revised 2003 Rotterdam criteria. Data were collected for physical examinations, pelvic ultrasonography, hormonal profiles, and carbohydrate metabolic profiles. Endometrial tissue was obtained using a disposable endometrial-suctioning device. Results: The final analysis included 122 women. Six (4.9%) patients had endometrial neoplasia. All six women had an endometrial thickness of 7 mm or more, representing a risk of 8.7% (6/69) in this group. The endometrial thickness was significantly but weakly associated with body mass index (r=0.227, P=0.012), 2-hour blood glucose (r=0.323, P=0.001), fasting glucose to insulin ratio (r=0.185, P=0.042), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (r=0.183, P=0.044), and free testosterone (r=0.236, P=0.009). No categorical risk factors for an endometrial thickness of 7 mm or more were identified. Conclusion: Thai women with PCOS and a thick endometrium (≥7 mm) had an 8.7% risk of endometrial neoplasia. Invasive endometrial surveillance for the prevention of endometrial cancer is recommended in these women.
