Aim: To analyze insulin resistance and related parameters in patients with endometrial cancer and hyperplasia.
Methods: The study included 102 patients in 3 groups. Group I and II included patients with a histologic diagnosis of endometrial cancer (n=41, 40.2%) and endometrial hyperplasia (n=31, 30.4%) based on the final pathology report. Group III was the control group and included patients who had undergone surgery for a benign indication other than endometrial hyperplasia (n=30, 29.4%). Age, body mass index (BMI), menarcheal age, menopausal status, gravidity, parity score, diabetes, oral contraceptive status, fasting glucose levels, insulin levels, endometrial thickness, HOMA-IR and QUICKI scores were assessed.
Results: The mean age of group I was statistically higher than that of group II (55.3±9.5 vs. 48.8±7.1, p=0.002). The average BMI of the two groups was similar (p=0.076). When fasting glucose values were evaluated, group I showed significantly higher values compared to group II. The mean insulin and HOMA-IR values in the control group were significantly higher than those in group I (p<0.001) and the QUICKI value was significantly higher in group I than in the control group (p=0.026).
Conclusion: Insulin resistance appears to be associated with endometrial cancer.

Amaç: Endometriyal kanser ve hiperplazi hastalarında insülin direncini ve ilgili parametreleri analiz etmek.
Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 3 grupta 102 hasta dahil edildi. Grup I ve II, nihai patoloji raporuna göre histolojik tanısı endometriyal kanser (n=41, %40.2) ve endometriyal hiperplazi (n=31, %30.4) olan hastaları içermekteydi. Grup III kontrol grubuydu ve endometriyal hiperplazi dışında iyi huylu bir endikasyon nedeniyle ameliyat geçiren hastaları içeriyordu (n=30, %29,4). Yaş, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ), menarş yaşı, menopoz durumu, gravidite, parite skoru, diyabet, oral kontraseptif durumu, açlık glukoz düzeyleri, insülin düzeyleri, endometriyal kalınlık, HOMA-IR ve QUICKI skorları değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Grup I’in yaş ortalaması grup II’den istatistiksel olarak daha yüksekti (55.3±9.5 vs. 48.8±7.1, p=0.002). İki grubun VKİ ortalaması benzerdi (p=0.076). Açlık glukoz değerleri değerlendirildiğinde, grup I, grup II’ye kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha yüksek değerler göstermiştir. Kontrol grubundaki ortalama insülin ve HOMA-IR değerleri grup I’dekilerden anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p<0.001) ve QUICKI değeri grup I’de kontrol grubundan anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p=0.026).
Sonuç: İnsülin direnci endometriyal kanser ile ilişkili görünmektedir.
