Exogenous Hormone Use and Breslow Thickness in Women With Cutaneous Melanoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study
These results indicate that the effect of exogenous hormone use on tumor thickness may be age-related, with an inverse association observed during the peri-menopausal period, and a positive relationship found among females above 60 years. Future research is needed to explore estrogen-mediated mechanisms influencing melanoma prognosis.
