Abstract
After mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy for high-grade ductal carcinoma with nodal involvement and lymphatic infiltration, a 48-year-old woman had premature menopause, with symptoms of loss of libido. Her general practitioner wanted to know how safe and effective hormone replacement therapy (HRT) would be for this patient.
