雌二醇是女性化激素治疗中主要的雌激素来源;针对不同用药途径,业已有了相应形态。最常见的形态包括口服片、舌下含服片剂、透皮剂以及注射剂。在许多国家(例如欧洲大部分地区),雌二醇注射剂已停产,因此无法用于女性化激素治疗 <sup>([Glintborg et al., 2021][G21])</sup>;然而,不少女性倾向跨性别者仍在使用,尤其在美国和自行用药(DIY)的群体中。常用的注射剂包括:戊酸雌二醇(EV)、环戊丙酸雌二醇(EC)和庚酸雌二醇(EEn),皆为油溶液。注射剂相较其它雌二醇形态,具有以下特点:更低的开销、更容易达到高雌二醇浓度以便压制睾酮的能力、更少的用药频率、以及理论上更小的健康风险(相对口服同等剂量而言,例如可避免肝脏首过效应);这些特点使得其在女性化激素治疗当中广受欢迎。注射带来的高雌二醇浓度对于单服雌二醇疗法也大有裨益:这避免了抗雄制剂的使用。
不幸的是,以上数据的质量特别低:不仅样本数少,而且雌二醇水平差别明显。此外,尽管 EU 的持续时间长达数月,但上述项目仅跟踪了注射后两周内的数据。因此,无法基于这些数据为 EU 拟合一个相对准确的曲线——而是基于一种提议,即 EU 的雌二醇浓度曲线下面积约为其它非聚合物雌二醇酯的三分之一。另外还存在少量的多次注射数据,但其无法被整合<sup>([Jacobi & Altwein, 1979][JA79], [表格][TABLE_36A]; [Jacobi et al., 1980][J80], [表格][TABLE_36B]; [Derra, 1981][D81], [表格][TABLE_36C])</sup>。经处理的源数据与拟合曲线见图 6。

### 聚磷酸雌二醇(PEP) {#polyestradiol-phosphate}
PEP 主要用于前列腺癌的治疗,但也见于其它需要雌激素的临床治疗当中(包括乳腺癌治疗、更年期激素疗法)。其曾被广泛使用,近来似乎已然停产。此处找到了来自 11 篇著述(表 8)的 114 人次注射的数据,均以患有前列腺癌的男性为对象。
