Neu im Fachgebiet Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe

Erhöhte Sterblichkeit bei Brustkrebs durch genetisches BMI-Risiko

Bei postmenopausalen Brustkrebspatientinnen ist ein hoher genetischer Risikoscore für Adipositas mit einer erhöhten Gesamtmortalität assoziiert. Die gute Nachricht: Regelmäßige Spaziergänge können dieses Risiko abmildern.

Vorteile für risikobasiertes Mammakarzinom-Screening?

Mehr verhinderte Brustkrebstodesfälle, weniger falsch positive Wiedereinbestellungen – geht es nach einer US-Simulationsstudie, bieten bestimmte Strategien zur Früherkennung, die das absolute 5-Jahres-Mammakarzinomsrisiko berücksichtigen, Vorteile gegenüber rein altersbasierten Mammografieprogrammen.

Ungeplante Sectio: traumatische Erfahrungen häufig und anhaltend

Ein ungeplanter Kaiserschnitt ist für viele Frauen mit erheblichem akutem Stress während der Geburt verbunden. Die psychische Belastung ist deutlich ausgeprägter als bei einer vaginalen Entbindung. Langfristig kann es zu Symptomen einer posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung, depressiver Verstimmung und Problemen in der Mutter‑Kind‑Bindung kommen.

Risikoreduzierende Mastektomie könnte Frauenleben retten

Trägerinnen von pathogenen Varianten des BRCA1- oder BRCA2-Gens, die sich zur Risikosenkung einer bilateralen Mastektomie unterziehen, erkranken seltener an Brustkrebs. Doch reduziert die Brustoperation auch die Gesamtmortalität? Ein Studienteam hat nachgesehen.
