Description:
Evolving data on management of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has changed treatment options and informed potential risks and benefits of HRT for women over the past several years. Additionally, as breast cancer treatments and survival have improved over time, sexual health and quality of life are paramount in optimizing long-term patient care. This session will discuss evidence and best-practice guidelines for breast specialists to aid discussions with patients on hormone replacement therapy and sexual health into the setting of breast cancer.
