Özet:

 Aim: This study aims to examine the relationship between the personal, obstetric, and gynecological characteristics of postmenopausal women who have undergone endometrial biopsy and their risks for endometrial cancer, along with their biopsy results. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted by retrospectively analyzing the sociodemographic, obstetric, and gynecological characteristics, endometrial cancer risk factors, existing medical conditions, clinical presentations, and biopsy results of 66 women who met the study criteria. These women presented with postmenopausal bleeding and underwent endometrial biopsy at .between February and June 2023, with data extracted from the hospitals written records over the past three years January 2020  January 2023. Results: The mean age of the women included in the study was 54.507.99 years, with 63.6 having completed primary education. The most common medical conditions identified were hypertension 19.7, thyroid disease 12.1, and diabetes mellitus 9.1. Endometrial biopsy results indicated that 92.4 of the women had benign findings. Women diagnosed with cancer or polyps were found to have similar characteristics to those with benign results but had lower rates of tamoxifen use, alcohol consumption, and smoking. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the identified risk factors for endometrial cancer in women included obesity, endometrial hyperplasia, smoking, alcohol consumption, and tamoxifen use. Health professionals working in womens health should develop educational, activity, and awareness programs to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors. Frequent monitoring of high-risk women and the joint evaluation of gynecological cancers and chronic diseases will be effective strategies for managing these patients.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, endometrial biyopsi uygulanan postmenopozal kadınların kişisel, obstetrik ve jinekolojik özellikleri ile endometrial kanser riskleri ve biyopsi sonuçları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, çalışma kriterlerini karşılayan 66 kadının sosyodemografik, obstetrik ve jinekolojik özellikleri, endometrial kanser risk faktörleri, mevcut tıbbi durumları, klinik sunumları ve biyopsi sonuçlarını retrospektif olarak analiz ederek yürütülmüştür. Bu kadınlar, Şubat ve Haziran 2023 arasında Zonguldak Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Hastanesinde postmenopozal kanama ile başvurmuş ve endometrial biyopsi yapılmış olup, veriler hastanenin son üç yıldaki Ocak 2020 - Ocak 2023 yazılı kayıtlarından çıkarılmıştır. Sonuçlar: Çalışmaya dahil edilen kadınların ortalama yaşı 54,507,99 yıl olup, 63,6sı ilköğretimi tamamlamıştır. Tanımlanan en yaygın tıbbi durumlar hipertansiyon 19,7, tiroid hastalığı 12,1 ve diabetes mellitus 9,1 idi. Endometrial biyopsi sonuçları kadınların 92,4ünün iyi huylu bulgulara sahip olduğunu gösterdi. Kanser veya polip teşhisi konulan kadınların iyi huylu sonuçları olanlara benzer özelliklere sahip olduğu ancak daha düşük tamoksifen kullanımı, alkol tüketimi ve sigara içme oranlarına sahip olduğu bulundu. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, kadınlarda endometrial kanser için belirlenen risk faktörleri arasında obezite, endometrial hiperplazi, sigara içme, alkol tüketimi ve tamoksifen kullanımı yer aldı. Kadın sağlığı alanında çalışan sağlık profesyonelleri, sağlıklı yaşam tarzı davranışlarını teşvik etmek için eğitim, aktivite ve farkındalık programları geliştirmelidir. Yüksek riskli kadınların sık sık izlenmesi ve jinekolojik kanserler ile kronik hastalıkların ortak değerlendirilmesi, bu hastaların yönetimi için etkili stratejiler olacaktır.
