Menopausal symptoms – hot flushes and night sweats – experienced by women with breast cancer can be reduced through group cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) delivered by breast care nurses, a new clinical trial involving the Southampton Clinical Trials Unit has revealed.
Up to 85% of women with breast cancer suffer from hot flushes and night sweats due to chemotherapy and hormone therapy treatments. These side effects are often more extreme and can last longer for women with breast cancer than for women who experience them due to natural menopause. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be offered to relieve menopausal symptoms, but is not usually recommended for women with breast cancer because it may increase their risk of the disease returning, therefore safe and effective alternatives to reduce side effects and ensure quality of life are urgently needed.
