Therapeutic approach to ovarian cysts in tamoxifen-treated women with breast cancer.
To present our clinical experience with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) treatment of tamoxifen-treated women who had developed ovarian cysts, and to discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic options in such cases. ⋯ The findings of this preliminary report suggest that GnRHa might be an appropriate treatment for tamoxifen-treated women who develop ovarian cysts. It was demonstrated that the GnRHa caused regression of the ovarian cysts and enabled continuation with the adjuvant tamoxifen treatment.
