Menstrual Cycle Maintenance and Quality of Life After Breast Cancer Treatment: A Prospective Study

Abstract

Very little is known about the incidence, onset, time course, and symptomatology of premature menopause induced by breast cancer therapy. No prospective study has been reported. Accrual in the present study was begun on January 1, 1998 but has not reached target numbers, and therefore, the time line was amended. Due to low recruitment, MD Anderson and Wake Forest University will no longer recruit study participants and their budget was reallocated. Memorial Sloan-Kettering continues to recruit participants. Public awareness and accrual has been increased through advertising in newspapers, journal articles, and internet sites. Since accrual is not yet finished, preliminary data is analyzed for a small amount of data. We have enrolled 456 patients.
