Maryam Lustberg: Vaginal Estrogen Therapy in Females with Breast Cancer

Maryam Lustberg, Director of the Center for Breast Cancer at Smilow Cancer Hospital, posted on LinkedIn:

“Reposting because many with history of breast cancer are still not given the option of vaginal estrogen when non hormonal options fail to work

In this large population based study, vaginal estrogen therapy users compared with nonusers, there was no evidence of a higher risk of breast cancer-specific mortality.”
