puberty or ather signs of hyperandragenism such as hirsutism

Correct Answer: 8

Jatter of gonadotropin secretion from infancy to puberty results primarily from a high sensitivity to low levels of gonadal steroid feedback
'diphasic"
B:-central GABA signaling is one of the factors that restrains GnRH neuronal activity during childhood
Czglutamate signaling may play a role in the resurgence of pulsatile GnRH secretion at the onset of puberty
D-hypothalamic kisspeptin-GPRS4 signaling is a key component of the neurobiologic mechanism that triggers the onset of puberty

C=Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy is recommended at age 35 or when childbearing is complete for patients carrying BRCA mutations and by age 40 in BRCA2 carriers
D:-The use of combined oral contraceptives is likely to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, but the effect on breast cancer risk is uncertain

B:-The incidence of endometrial cancer quadrupled with 5 years of tamoxifen treatment
C=Levonorgestrel intrauterine device (IUD) is net effective to protect the endometrium against hyperplasia and polyps in women using tamoxifen

adenocarcinoma
B-Atypical endometrial hyperplasia does not often spontaneously regress and has significant risk (10-30%) of progression to adenocarcinoma if left untreated
706/9 is significant risk (upto 40%) of an unrecognized adenocarcinoma in endometrial hyperplasia with atypia
D:-Biopsy is not indicated when the clinical history suggests long-term unopposed estrogen exposure but the endometrial thickness is 5-12 mm
