Vikram Sinai Talaulikar: Survey Reveals Major Gaps in Menopause Care for Cancer Survivors
Vikram Sinai Talaulikar, Associate Specialist in Reproductive Medicine at UCLH and Hon, Associate Specialist in Reproductive Medicine at UCLH and Hon, shared a post on LinkedIn:

3 out of 4 women did not receive adequate information about menopause resulting from cancer treatment as part of their pre-treatment discussions with the healthcare team
9 out of 10 participants said that menopause related symptoms which followed cancer treatment, had a significant impact on their quality of life.
More than 3 out of 4 women felt that they did not receive adequate support from their healthcare professionals for menopause resulting from cancer treatment.
3 out of 4 women felt that their healthcare professionals team did not have up-to-date knowledge of menopause management.
Majority of cancer survivors in our survey were not satisfied with the information and long-term care and support that was offered to them for menopause management following cancer treatment. There is certainly more that needs to be done in this space to support individuals better.
Together we can do this and improve the care pathways for late effects of cancer including subfertility and menopause. The mission continues….”
