ABSTRACT
The Authors report the results of study carried out on ten post-menopausal patients affected with endometrial carcinoma (FIGO stage I & II) who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH & BSO). Estradiol, Testosterone and Prolactin plasma levels were assayed before surgery and in the 2nd, 10th and 30th post-operative day. The evaluation of the data supports the opinion that in postmenopause Estradiol origin is mainly extraglandular and the ovaries produce Testosterone; the evaluation of Prolactin levels before and after surgery, at last, cannot rule out the hypothesis of an hypothalamo-pituitary disfunction in post-menopausal patients affected with endometrial cancer.
