A Comparative Study of Quality of Life and Oncologic Outcomes in Premenopausal Women with Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer: Bilateral Oophorectomy vs. Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist Therapy.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) and oncological outcomes in premenopausal women diagnosed with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who are receiving either bilateral oophorectomy (BO) or gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH) therapy. Both methods serve to inhibit ovarian function, which is essential for the management of estrogen-dependent tumors; however, their effects on QoL have yet to be fully clarified. Methods: Data were analyzed from the Mayo Clinic Breast Disease Registry, focusing on women under 55 diagnosed with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer who received either BO or GnRH within one year of diagnosis. QoL was assessed using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global-10 (PROM
