Resumo

Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão abrangente da literatura sobre o câncer de endométrio e a relação com o Dispositivo Intrauterino (DIU) liberador de Levonorgestrel, avaliando seu potencial como fator protetor na prevenção desta neoplasia. Métodos: Foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória de caráter quantitativo, do tipo revisão de literatura nas bases de dados PubMed Medline, BVS, ScienceDirect (Elsevier) e Portal de Periódicos CAPES. Termos usados: "LNG-IUD", "Endometrial cancer", "Cancer risk", "Levonorgestrel", "Dispositivos Intrauterinos", "Neoplasias do Endométrio", “Endométrio” e “Levanogestrel”. Foram selecionados artigos relevantes e disponíveis para acesso público. Resultados: No PubMed, dez artigos indicaram que o DIU hormonal provoca alterações no endométrio, reduzindo significativamente o sangramento e a proliferação celular. No Portal de Periódicos CAPES, dez artigos mostraram que o DIU está associado a menor incidência de câncer endometrial, especialmente em mulheres obesas. Na BVS, quatro artigos confirmaram a eficácia do DIU hormonal no tratamento de hiperplasia endometrial, sendo uma alternativa eficaz aos progestágenos orais. Considerações finais: O Dispositivo Intrauterino liberador de Levonorgestrel pode desempenhar um papel importante na prevenção e tratamento do câncer de endométrio, reduzindo o risco de câncer e promovendo a regressão da hiperplasia endometrial.
