Adjuvant endocrine therapy saves lives — but it also comes with a significant burden of side effects that drive treatment discontinuation and compromise quality of life for thousands of breast cancer survivors. In this session, Dr. Corinne Menn brings a uniquely informed perspective to this clinical challenge. As both a menopause specialist and a 24-year breast cancer survivor who has navigated endocrine therapy herself, she understands the stakes from both sides of the exam room. Dr. Menn will review the mechanisms and indications for adjuvant endocrine therapy, examine the hormonal and sexual health consequences of aromatase inhibitors and tamoxifen, and provide evidence-based strategies for managing side effects — including premature menopause, genitourinary syndrome, bone loss, mood changes, and sexual dysfunction — without compromising oncologic outcomes. Attendees will leave with practical frameworks for supporting their patients through the full arc of endocrine therapy, from initiation through long-term survivorship.

She practices exclusively through telehealth, providing consultations and personalized education to women navigating some of medicine's most underserved territory.
A 24-year survivor of breast cancer and premature menopause and a BRCA carrier, Dr. Menn brings both rigorous clinical training and hard-won personal insight to her work. That dual perspective — physician and patient — is central to everything she does.
Dr. Menn teaches CME courses for healthcare professionals and is a frequent speaker at national medical conferences, including Harvard's Women's Health & Menopause Conference, the National Consortium of Breast Centers Annual Meeting, ISSWSH, and ACOOG. She tailors presentations for clinical audiences, patient advocacy organizations, and corporate and nonprofit groups.
Her advocacy work is equally central to her identity. She serves on the Council of Advisors for the Young Survival Coalition, co-leads their monthly Healthcare Provider–Survivor Support Group, and serves on the Breast Cancer Alliance Research Grant Committee. She is a medical advisor and US Ambassador for Menopause and Cancer, a global nonprofit dedicated to supporting people navigating cancer treatment and its aftermath.
