Endometrial Volume

Objective: To analyse the diagnostic performance of endometrial volume calculated by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound for diagnosing endometrial carcinoma in women with postmenopausal bleeding. Methods: An extensive search of papers analysing the role of endometrial volume calculated by 3D ultrasound for diagnosing endometrial carcinoma in women with postmenopausal bleeding was performed in MEDLINE/PubMed and Web of Science from January 1996 to January 2020. Quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) tool. Results: The extended search identified 318 citations but after exclusions, eight articles wereincluded in the meta-analysis. The risk of bias for most studies was high for the four domains assessed in QUADAS-2. Overall, after excluding three studies that contributed significantly to heterogeneity, pooled estimated sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing endometrial cancer were 87% (95% confidence interval: 80–92%) and 60% (95% confidence interval: 51–68%), respectively. Heterogeneity was low or moderate. Conclusion: Endometrial volume as estimated by 3D ultrasound using virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCALTM) software has a moderate diagnostic performance for detecting endometrial malignancy in women with postmenopausal bleeding.

Abstract Objective: We aimed to evaluate the association between coffee and/or tea consumption and breast cancer (BC) risk among premenopausal and postmenopausal women and to conduct a network meta-analysis. Design: Systematic review and network meta-analysis. Setting: We conducted a systematic review of electronic publications in the last 30 years to identify case–control studies or prospective cohort studies that evaluated the effects of coffee and tea intake. Results: Forty-five studies that included more than 3 323 288 participants were eligible for analysis. Network meta-analysis was performed to determine the effects of coffee and/or tea consumption on reducing BC risk in a dose-dependent manner and differences in coffee/tea type, menopause status, hormone receptor and the BMI in subgroup and meta-regression analyses. According to the first pairwise meta-analysis, low-dose coffee intake and high-dose tea intake may exhibit efficacy in preventing ER(estrogen receptor)− BC, particularly in postmenopausal women. Then, we performed another pairwise and network meta-analysis and determined that the recommended daily doses were 2–3 cups/d of coffee or ≥5 cups/d of tea, which contained a high concentration of caffeine, particularly in postmenopausal women. Conclusions: Coffee and tea consumption is not associated with a reduction in the overall BC risk in postmenopausal women and is associated with a potentially lower risk of ER− BC. And the highest recommended dose is 2–3 cups of coffee/d or ≥5 cups of tea/d. They are potentially useful dietary protectants for preventing BC.
