Millions of people are impacted by cancer treatment-induced menopause,
suffering debilitating symptoms and issues with long-term health. Yet, nobody warns them or supports them.
Their latest research shows:
• 90% of people were not given any plan to manage menopause-related health changes after treatment.
• Only 1% had a clear plan in place.
• 75% received little to no information about how cancer treatment could affect hormone health or fertility.
• A staggering 99% believe there should be better support in place.
• 9 in 10 said symptoms significantly impact their quality of life.
• 3 in 4 said these symptoms were harder to manage than cancer treatment itself.
• Only 3% felt adequately supported by healthcare professionals.
• 95% said their clinical teams lacked up-to-date knowledge on managing menopause after cancer.
Why It Matters
As cancer survival rates improve, more young people are being thrust into early menopause as a side effect of life-saving treatment. The experience is abrupt, confusing, and isolating - yet most patients receive little or no support. This is not just about symptoms: it’s about quality of life and long-term health.
What Needs to Change
• Menopause support must be embedded into cancer care from the start.
• Healthcare professionals need better training to bridge the gap between oncology and menopause care.
• Patients must have safe and effective access to therapies and specialist care
Why Treatment-Induced Menopause is
Different
• It can happen suddenly - even overnight atter surgery.
• Symptoms are often more severe and last for years.
• It can occur at any age, even in patients in their 20s and 30s.
• Fewer treatment options are available due to Cancer history.
