Description
Agnaldo Lopes da Silva-Filho and fellow members of a FIGO committee set out guidance on hormone therapy for women who reach menopause after gynaecological cancer. Better treatment now means many survivors live long enough to face hot flushes, sleep trouble, and long-term effects of low estrogen. Fear of cancer returning, though, often leaves these symptoms undertreated.
The paper reviews safety evidence cancer by cancer, weighing tumour type, stage, and hormone sensitivity. Systemic hormone therapy may suit carefully chosen survivors of most vulvar, vaginal, cervical, and common ovarian cancers. Women with hormone-sensitive tumours should generally avoid systemic therapy, while local vaginal treatment and non-hormonal options stay open to them. Special attention goes to poorer countries, where treatment-caused menopause often comes young and follow-up resources are thin.
