The Effect Of Fractional CO2 Laser Therapy On Cancer Survivors With Genitourinary Syndrome Of Menopause (GSM)
Improvement in cancer therapies has led to an increase in the number of women surviving chemotherapy (and other treatments) and overcoming cancer. This patient population presents specific clinical needs as chemotherapy (and other cancer treatments) treatment side effects can lead to early appearance of menopause symptoms and conventional hormonal treatments are contraindicated for these patients. The use of CO2 laser treatment has been shown to provide relief of Genitourinary Syndrome Of Menopause (GSM) symptoms in women and might provide a significant improvement in the quality of life for cancer survivors. The current study is designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of CO2 laser for treatment of GSM symptoms in cancer survivors suffering from GSM symptoms, with limited access to hormonal treatment.
