In the THRIVE trial, sexual side effects caused by hormonal therapy led to lower mental quality of life in both Black and white women, but caused lower physical quality of life only in Black women. Sexual side effects were also linked to Black women being less likely to take hormonal therapy as prescribed, but not white women.
Dr. Janeane Anderson, who analyzed the THRIVE data, explains why it’s so important for anyone who’s received breast cancer treatment to talk to their doctors about any and all sexual health problems they’re having.
Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Anderson discuss:
- Why sexual health is one of the most significant unmet needs among breast cancer survivors of breast cancer, regardless of race.
- The most common sexual health side effects of hormonal therapy.
- Her advice to women who aren’t comfortable talking about sex and sexuality with their oncologists.
