Abstract:
Breast cancer survivorship is increasing, due to earlier diagnosis and more effective therapies. As such, long term sequelae are becoming increasingly important, including several endocrine issues. These include early menopause, effects on bone health, implications for fertility and problematic menopausal symptoms. This presentation will aim to outline what is known about these important factors in breast cancer survivors, and raise questions for future research.
