Onco-Menopause Conference Urges Evidence-Based Care for Cancer Survivors, Citing 1 Need for Shared Decisions
1 articles · Updated · Oncodaily · Oct 31
Summary
An inaugural international online Onco-Menopause conference centered menopause care as part of cancer survivorship, with Muna Al-Khaifi saying the meeting highlighted the need for more comprehensive support for survivors.
Speakers reviewed emerging evidence, hormonal and nonhormonal treatments, and the complexities of menopausal hormone therapy after cancer, stressing that decisions cannot be reduced to a simple yes-or-no answer.
Multidisciplinary teams and clear, balanced information were a recurring focus, especially as clinicians and patients navigate conflicting messages and misinformation on social media.
The conference ended with a broader call to close evidence gaps, strengthen collaboration, and improve access so menopause care is integrated from cancer diagnosis through survivorship.
