Francisco J. Esteva: Many breast cancer survivors experience menopause – but not all symptoms are created equal

Francisco J. Esteva, Chief of the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Lenox Hill Hospital and a Professor of Medicine at the Zucker School of Medicine, shared a post on LinkedIn:
