Settings and conduct
-
This study will be performed at the Breast Cancer Research Center. Before starting systemic therapy, the serum estradiol levels in the three groups will be measured. Then, serum estradiol levels will be measured at the end of the third month in quarterly drug groups and the end of all three injections for monthly drug, and it will be compared in three groups. All patients will be clinically evaluated during treatment in terms of menopause, the interval between menstruation and injection, spotting, and the ability to menopause (menopause and serum estradiol level below 5-10 µ g/ml), then will be compared in three groups. This process will be continued in the sixth, ninth and twelfth months (at the end of the first year) of medicine use ( 5 times in total). Menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and the number of hot flashes per day, shivering, and dyspareunia symptoms will be asked and recorded in a table every three months, respectively. At the end of the study, the ability to induce menopause in the two groups with the above factors will be compared.
