Gynecologists are afraid of prescribing hormone replacement to endometrial/ovarian cancer survivors despite national guidelines-a survey in Sweden.

CONCLUSION: Swedish gynecologic oncologists have a more favorable attitude towards HRT for endometrial/ovarian cancer patients and feel more comfortable treating their patients than do gynecologists. This study illustrates a need for education in these matters in order not to withhold HRT from women due to doctors' sometimes unjustified anxiety. PMID: 30526173 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
