Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is to investigate sex hormones levels of Chinese patients with invasive breast cancer.The aim is to analyze biochemical monitoring results of premenopausal and postmenopausal patients to facilitate determination of menopausal status and propose clinical application.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2) and luteinizing hormone (LH) can serve as indicators in the determination of menopausal status. NCCN clinical practice guidelines for breast cancer recommend detecting the levels of FSH and E2 for amenorrhea patients less than 60 years of age. But the detection method and the corresponding reference ranges indicating postmenopausal status are not mentioned. In addition, the reference limits vary a lot among different equipments and methods when it comes to diagnosis of menopause, thus it is difficult to set universal criteria. So in this study, four widely used methods and instruments in China are used to detect plasma levels of FSH, E2 and LN of premenopausal and postmenopausal patients. Instruments and methods must be one of the following four categories: microparticle chemiluminescent(Beckman),acridinium ester chemiluminescence (Siemens),acridinium ester chemiluminescence (Abbott) and electrochemiluminescence(Roche).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Postmenopausal group

Patients at the age ≥ 60 years with more than one year of menopause, or patients having undergone bilateral oophorectomy.

No interventions assigned to this group

Premenopausal group

Patients with regular menses during recent 3 months and having never received luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogue therapy.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria
