We hope that all women facing gynaecological cancer treatment will be offered the support and options they need to navigate the impact of early onset menopause caused by their cancer treatment.

The British Menopause Society (BMS) and British Gynaecological Cancer Society (BGCS) recently published a joint guideline providing information for all healthcare professionals caring for women treated for gynaecological cancer.

Dr Helen Clarke, Chair of Peaches Womb Cancer Trust, answers some of the questions you may have about the menopause during or after treatment for womb cancer on our website.
