Doctors test if vaginal estrogen is safe for breast cancer survivors

NCT ID NCT00984399

Summary

This study checked if a low-dose vaginal estrogen tablet (Vagifem) is safe for breast cancer survivors taking aromatase inhibitor medications. Researchers measured whether estrogen from the vaginal tablet gets absorbed into the bloodstream, which could potentially affect cancer risk. The study involved 31 postmenopausal women with breast cancer who were experiencing vaginal dryness, a common side effect of treatment.
