Women treated for gynecologic cancers often experience abrupt or early menopause, with symptoms that significantly impact quality of life, sexual health, bone health, and overall well-being. Managing these symptoms can be particularly complex in the context of cancer history and ongoing surveillance.

In this session, Rachel Frankenthal, PA-C, will review practical, evidence-based strategies for menopause management in gynecologic cancer survivors. The discussion will address hormonal and non-hormonal options, safety considerations, and individualized risk assessment, with an emphasis on collaborative, survivorship-focused care. Clinicians will gain actionable tools to support symptom relief while prioritizing long-term health and oncologic safety.
