Menopause Management in Patients With Cancer

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to establish a practical framework for managing menopause symptoms in cancer patients, emphasizing the importance of risk stratification and collaboration with oncology. They synthesize current evidence and guidelines to recommend nonhormonal therapies as first-line treatments, while also addressing the careful use of vaginal estrogen and systemic hormone therapy in select cases. This approach seeks to balance symptom relief with oncologic safety, ultimately improving the quality of life for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
