As perceptions of menopause have evolved, this new text examines what clinical problems can arise in treatment of patients experiencing menopause after cancer treatment. For too long, menopausal symptoms have been undertreated in cancer survivors, leading to suffering and suboptimal health outcomes. From hot flashes to night sweats to mood and sexual concerns, this book provides practical tips for approaching these symptoms in the clinic. It will be an invaluable reference for both gynaecologists and oncologists internationally.
