 Coping with Early Menopause After Gynecologic Cancer

Facing ovarian, uterine, or cervical cancer can be overwhelming, and for some, it brings the added challenge of early menopause. To help you navigate this complex experience, we invite you to join Weill Cornell Medicine gynecologic oncologists Dr. Melissa Frey and Dr. Deanna Gerber for an informative conversation about early menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). During this webinar, you’ll learn about the causes of early menopause, what symptoms to look for, and the best ways to manage them. Our speakers will also discuss the role of HRT and when it may or may not be safe for gynecologic cancer survivors, and what alternative treatments and lifestyle strategies can help improve your quality of life.
