Abstract
In breast cancer patients, menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes can be a bothersome problem, with a significant impact on quality of life. Hormone replacement therapy, the mainstay for treatment of these symptoms in healthy women, is traditionally contraindicated. There are, however, several other strategies for the management of flushes in breast cancer patients and these are reviewed in this article.
