ldquoBenefits are more likely to outweigh risks for symptomatic women before the age of 60 years or within 10 years after menopauserdquo

A Decade After The Womenrsquos Health InitiativemdashThe Experts Do Agree

For younger women HT is an acceptable option for treating

moderate to severe menopausal symptoms in relatively young (up to age 59 or within 10 years of menopause) and healthy women

Individualization is key in the decision to use HT

A Decade After The Womenrsquos Health InitiativemdashThe Experts Do Agree

Women taking menopausal estrogen Women with a uterus need

endometrial protection Either combined with a progestogen TSEC- combined with SERM

Women without a uterus can take estrogen alone

Risk of blood clotsstroke Both estrogen therapy and estrogen

with progestogen therapy increase the risk of VTE and PE

Although the risks of VTE and strokes increase with HT the risk is rare in the 50-59-year-old age group

Risk of breast cancer An increased risk in breast cancer

is seen in 3-5 years of continuous estrogenprogestogen therapy

The risk decreases after HT is stopped

FDA approved novel hormone therapy

In October 2013 the FDA approved a novel hormone therapy conjugated estrogens paired with the SERM bazedoxefine (CEBZA) for symptomatic postmenopausal women with a uterus to relieve hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis without the need for a progestogen Incidence of endometrial hyperplasia at year one was low lt1 and similar to placebo with rates comparable to placebo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascvular events and cancer VTE rates were low

Maximize Benefits and Minimize Risks of HT

Lowest risk if begun win 1st 10 yrs of menopause or lt age 60 Primary indication is bothersome hot flashes and night sweats

Other indications include high risk osteoporosis depression not responding to antidepressants sleep disruption due to VMS Somatic pains migraines worsening with lowered estrogen

Benefit for CVD protection intriguing- Not contraindicated for symptomatic women gt60

If evaluate risk factors for CAD treat medical issues If continuing hormone therapy for women who began in their 50rsquos

Consider low dose transdermal- lower VTE and stroke risk Reassess regularly For many treatment can be tapered down or

stopped after a few years of use

Adapted Robert Reid SOCG 38

Clinical Pearls- Traditional or TSEC Individualizing Therapy

No uterus- Estrogen alone No data indication for TSEC if hysterectomized Uterus intact- need endometrial protection Requires progestogen or TSEC Consider TSEC over conventional EPT Breast tenderness Increased breast density Concerned about breast cancer risk Bleeding Possibly after 3-5 years of EPT- no data on switching

from EPT to TSEC

For younger women HT is an acceptable option for treating

moderate to severe menopausal symptoms in relatively young (up to age 59 or within 10 years of menopause) and healthy women

Individualization is key in the decision to use HT

Women taking menopausal estrogen Women with a uterus need

endometrial protection Either combined with a progestogen TSEC- combined with SERM

Women without a uterus can take estrogen alone

Risk of blood clotsstroke Both estrogen therapy and estrogen

with progestogen therapy increase the risk of VTE and PE

Although the risks of VTE and strokes increase with HT the risk is rare in the 50-59-year-old age group

Risk of breast cancer An increased risk in breast cancer

is seen in 3-5 years of continuous estrogenprogestogen therapy

New hormonal option- CEEBZA (TSEC) CEEBZA is a tissue-selective estrogen complex (TSEC) pairing CE with the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) BZA Unlike other SERMs BZA possesses sufficient antagonist effect on uterine tissue to be paired with an estrogen CEEBZA Endometrial protection Neutral breast Prevents hot flushes Prevents bone loss Preserves vaginal health Favorable lipid profile

FDA approved novel hormone therapy

In October 2013 the FDA approved a novel hormone therapy conjugated estrogens paired with the SERM bazedoxefine (CEBZA) for symptomatic postmenopausal women with a uterus to relieve hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis without the need for a progestogen Incidence of endometrial hyperplasia at year one was low lt1 and similar to placebo with rates comparable to placebo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascvular events and cancer VTE rates were low

Maximize Benefits and Minimize Risks of HT

Lowest risk if begun win 1st 10 yrs of menopause or lt age 60 Primary indication is bothersome hot flashes and night sweats

Other indications include high risk osteoporosis depression not responding to antidepressants sleep disruption due to VMS Somatic pains migraines worsening with lowered estrogen

Benefit for CVD protection intriguing- Not contraindicated for symptomatic women gt60

If evaluate risk factors for CAD treat medical issues If continuing hormone therapy for women who began in their 50rsquos

Consider low dose transdermal- lower VTE and stroke risk Reassess regularly For many treatment can be tapered down or

stopped after a few years of use

Adapted Robert Reid SOCG 38

Clinical Pearls- Traditional or TSEC Individualizing Therapy

No uterus- Estrogen alone No data indication for TSEC if hysterectomized Uterus intact- need endometrial protection Requires progestogen or TSEC Consider TSEC over conventional EPT Breast tenderness Increased breast density Concerned about breast cancer risk Bleeding Possibly after 3-5 years of EPT- no data on switching

from EPT to TSEC

ldquoBenefits are more likely to outweigh risks for symptomatic women before the age of 60 years or within 10 years after menopauserdquo

A Decade After The Womenrsquos Health InitiativemdashThe Experts Do Agree

For younger women HT is an acceptable option for treating

moderate to severe menopausal symptoms in relatively young (up to age 59 or within 10 years of menopause) and healthy women

Individualization is key in the decision to use HT

A Decade After The Womenrsquos Health InitiativemdashThe Experts Do Agree

Women taking menopausal estrogen Women with a uterus need

endometrial protection Either combined with a progestogen TSEC- combined with SERM

Women without a uterus can take estrogen alone

Hodis HN et al Climacteric 201215217-28 Adapted Robert Reid

Risk of blood clotsstroke Both estrogen therapy and estrogen

with progestogen therapy increase the risk of VTE and PE

Although the risks of VTE and strokes increase with HT the risk is rare in the 50-59-year-old age group

In 50-59 yr olds in WHI the attributable risks were Combined MHT - 12000 WY Estrogen alone ndash no increase

Is route or dosage more important Less risk with low dose transdermal in observational studies

Risk of breast cancer An increased risk in breast cancer

is seen in 3-5 years of continuous estrogenprogestogen therapy

The risk decreases after HT is stopped

New hormonal option- CEEBZA (TSEC) CEEBZA is a tissue-selective estrogen complex (TSEC) pairing CE with the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) BZA Unlike other SERMs BZA possesses sufficient antagonist effect on uterine tissue to be paired with an estrogen CEEBZA Endometrial protection Neutral breast Prevents hot flushes Prevents bone loss Preserves vaginal health Favorable lipid profile

FDA approved novel hormone therapy

In October 2013 the FDA approved a novel hormone therapy conjugated estrogens paired with the SERM bazedoxefine (CEBZA) for symptomatic postmenopausal women with a uterus to relieve hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis without the need for a progestogen Incidence of endometrial hyperplasia at year one was low lt1 and similar to placebo with rates comparable to placebo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascvular events and cancer VTE rates were low

Page 7: Managing the Menopause afterWHI 2008 · Adapted Pinkerton A Decade After The Women’s Health Initiative—The Experts Do Agree . HT is an FDA-approved option for relief of menopausal

For younger women HT is an acceptable option for treating

moderate to severe menopausal symptoms in relatively young (up to age 59 or within 10 years of menopause) and healthy women

Individualization is key in the decision to use HT

A Decade After The Womenrsquos Health InitiativemdashThe Experts Do Agree

Women taking menopausal estrogen Women with a uterus need

endometrial protection Either combined with a progestogen TSEC- combined with SERM

Women without a uterus can take estrogen alone

Risk of blood clotsstroke Both estrogen therapy and estrogen

with progestogen therapy increase the risk of VTE and PE

Although the risks of VTE and strokes increase with HT the risk is rare in the 50-59-year-old age group

In 50-59 yr olds in WHI the attributable risks were Combined MHT - 12000 WY Estrogen alone ndash no increase

Is route or dosage more important Less risk with low dose transdermal in observational studies

Risk of breast cancer An increased risk in breast cancer

is seen in 3-5 years of continuous estrogenprogestogen therapy

The risk decreases after HT is stopped

Maximize Benefits and Minimize Risks of HT

Lowest risk if begun win 1st 10 yrs of menopause or lt age 60 Primary indication is bothersome hot flashes and night sweats

Other indications include high risk osteoporosis depression not responding to antidepressants sleep disruption due to VMS Somatic pains migraines worsening with lowered estrogen

Benefit for CVD protection intriguing- Not contraindicated for symptomatic women gt60

If evaluate risk factors for CAD treat medical issues If continuing hormone therapy for women who began in their 50rsquos

Consider low dose transdermal- lower VTE and stroke risk Reassess regularly For many treatment can be tapered down or

stopped after a few years of use

Adapted Robert Reid SOCG 38

Clinical Pearls- Traditional or TSEC Individualizing Therapy

No uterus- Estrogen alone No data indication for TSEC if hysterectomized Uterus intact- need endometrial protection Requires progestogen or TSEC Consider TSEC over conventional EPT Breast tenderness Increased breast density Concerned about breast cancer risk Bleeding Possibly after 3-5 years of EPT- no data on switching

from EPT to TSEC

Maximize Benefits and Minimize Risks of HT

Lowest risk if begun win 1st 10 yrs of menopause or lt age 60 Primary indication is bothersome hot flashes and night sweats

Other indications include high risk osteoporosis depression not responding to antidepressants sleep disruption due to VMS Somatic pains migraines worsening with lowered estrogen

Benefit for CVD protection intriguing- Not contraindicated for symptomatic women gt60

If evaluate risk factors for CAD treat medical issues If continuing hormone therapy for women who began in their 50rsquos

Consider low dose transdermal- lower VTE and stroke risk Reassess regularly For many treatment can be tapered down or

stopped after a few years of use

Adapted Robert Reid SOCG 38

Clinical Pearls- Traditional or TSEC Individualizing Therapy

No uterus- Estrogen alone No data indication for TSEC if hysterectomized Uterus intact- need endometrial protection Requires progestogen or TSEC Consider TSEC over conventional EPT Breast tenderness Increased breast density Concerned about breast cancer risk Bleeding Possibly after 3-5 years of EPT- no data on switching

from EPT to TSEC

Risk of blood clotsstroke Both estrogen therapy and estrogen

with progestogen therapy increase the risk of VTE and PE

Although the risks of VTE and strokes increase with HT the risk is rare in the 50-59-year-old age group

In 50-59 yr olds in WHI the attributable risks were Combined MHT - 12000 WY Estrogen alone ndash no increase

Is route or dosage more important Less risk with low dose transdermal in observational studies

Risk of breast cancer An increased risk in breast cancer

is seen in 3-5 years of continuous estrogenprogestogen therapy

New hormonal option- CEEBZA (TSEC) CEEBZA is a tissue-selective estrogen complex (TSEC) pairing CE with the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) BZA Unlike other SERMs BZA possesses sufficient antagonist effect on uterine tissue to be paired with an estrogen CEEBZA Endometrial protection Neutral breast Prevents hot flushes Prevents bone loss Preserves vaginal health Favorable lipid profile

FDA approved novel hormone therapy

In October 2013 the FDA approved a novel hormone therapy conjugated estrogens paired with the SERM bazedoxefine (CEBZA) for symptomatic postmenopausal women with a uterus to relieve hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis without the need for a progestogen Incidence of endometrial hyperplasia at year one was low lt1 and similar to placebo with rates comparable to placebo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascvular events and cancer VTE rates were low

Maximize Benefits and Minimize Risks of HT

Lowest risk if begun win 1st 10 yrs of menopause or lt age 60 Primary indication is bothersome hot flashes and night sweats

Other indications include high risk osteoporosis depression not responding to antidepressants sleep disruption due to VMS Somatic pains migraines worsening with lowered estrogen

Benefit for CVD protection intriguing- Not contraindicated for symptomatic women gt60

If evaluate risk factors for CAD treat medical issues If continuing hormone therapy for women who began in their 50rsquos

Consider low dose transdermal- lower VTE and stroke risk Reassess regularly For many treatment can be tapered down or

stopped after a few years of use

Adapted Robert Reid SOCG 38

Clinical Pearls- Traditional or TSEC Individualizing Therapy

No uterus- Estrogen alone No data indication for TSEC if hysterectomized Uterus intact- need endometrial protection Requires progestogen or TSEC Consider TSEC over conventional EPT Breast tenderness Increased breast density Concerned about breast cancer risk Bleeding Possibly after 3-5 years of EPT- no data on switching

from EPT to TSEC

New hormonal option- CEEBZA (TSEC) CEEBZA is a tissue-selective estrogen complex (TSEC) pairing CE with the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) BZA Unlike other SERMs BZA possesses sufficient antagonist effect on uterine tissue to be paired with an estrogen CEEBZA Endometrial protection Neutral breast Prevents hot flushes Prevents bone loss Preserves vaginal health Favorable lipid profile

FDA approved novel hormone therapy

In October 2013 the FDA approved a novel hormone therapy conjugated estrogens paired with the SERM bazedoxefine (CEBZA) for symptomatic postmenopausal women with a uterus to relieve hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis without the need for a progestogen Incidence of endometrial hyperplasia at year one was low lt1 and similar to placebo with rates comparable to placebo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascvular events and cancer VTE rates were low

FDA approved novel hormone therapy

In October 2013 the FDA approved a novel hormone therapy conjugated estrogens paired with the SERM bazedoxefine (CEBZA) for symptomatic postmenopausal women with a uterus to relieve hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis without the need for a progestogen Incidence of endometrial hyperplasia at year one was low lt1 and similar to placebo with rates comparable to placebo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascvular events and cancer VTE rates were low

FDA approved novel hormone therapy

In October 2013 the FDA approved a novel hormone therapy conjugated estrogens paired with the SERM bazedoxefine (CEBZA) for symptomatic postmenopausal women with a uterus to relieve hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis without the need for a progestogen Incidence of endometrial hyperplasia at year one was low lt1 and similar to placebo with rates comparable to placebo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascvular events and cancer VTE rates were low

Maximize Benefits and Minimize Risks of HT

Lowest risk if begun win 1st 10 yrs of menopause or lt age 60 Primary indication is bothersome hot flashes and night sweats

Other indications include high risk osteoporosis depression not responding to antidepressants sleep disruption due to VMS Somatic pains migraines worsening with lowered estrogen

Benefit for CVD protection intriguing- Not contraindicated for symptomatic women gt60

If evaluate risk factors for CAD treat medical issues If continuing hormone therapy for women who began in their 50rsquos

Consider low dose transdermal- lower VTE and stroke risk Reassess regularly For many treatment can be tapered down or

stopped after a few years of use

Adapted Robert Reid SOCG 38

Clinical Pearls- Traditional or TSEC Individualizing Therapy

No uterus- Estrogen alone No data indication for TSEC if hysterectomized Uterus intact- need endometrial protection Requires progestogen or TSEC Consider TSEC over conventional EPT Breast tenderness Increased breast density Concerned about breast cancer risk Bleeding Possibly after 3-5 years of EPT- no data on switching

from EPT to TSEC

HT tolerability issues HT associated with poor compliance due

to tolerability of progestogen Irregular bleeding

May increase unnecessary interventionsanxiety

Breast paintenderness May cause anxiety

Increase on breast density May reduce sensitivity of screening mammograms Independent risk factor for breast cancer

New hormonal option- CEEBZA (TSEC) CEEBZA is a tissue-selective estrogen complex (TSEC) pairing CE with the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) BZA Unlike other SERMs BZA possesses sufficient antagonist effect on uterine tissue to be paired with an estrogen CEEBZA Endometrial protection Neutral breast Prevents hot flushes Prevents bone loss Preserves vaginal health Favorable lipid profile

FDA approved novel hormone therapy

In October 2013 the FDA approved a novel hormone therapy conjugated estrogens paired with the SERM bazedoxefine (CEBZA) for symptomatic postmenopausal women with a uterus to relieve hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis without the need for a progestogen Incidence of endometrial hyperplasia at year one was low lt1 and similar to placebo with rates comparable to placebo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascvular events and cancer VTE rates were low

FDA approved novel hormone therapy

In October 2013 the FDA approved a novel hormone therapy conjugated estrogens paired with the SERM bazedoxefine (CEBZA) for symptomatic postmenopausal women with a uterus to relieve hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis without the need for a progestogen Incidence of endometrial hyperplasia at year one was low lt1 and similar to placebo with rates comparable to placebo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascvular events and cancer VTE rates were low

Maximize Benefits and Minimize Risks of HT

Lowest risk if begun win 1st 10 yrs of menopause or lt age 60 Primary indication is bothersome hot flashes and night sweats

Other indications include high risk osteoporosis depression not responding to antidepressants sleep disruption due to VMS Somatic pains migraines worsening with lowered estrogen

Benefit for CVD protection intriguing- Not contraindicated for symptomatic women gt60

If evaluate risk factors for CAD treat medical issues If continuing hormone therapy for women who began in their 50rsquos

Consider low dose transdermal- lower VTE and stroke risk Reassess regularly For many treatment can be tapered down or

stopped after a few years of use

Adapted Robert Reid SOCG 38

Clinical Pearls- Traditional or TSEC Individualizing Therapy

No uterus- Estrogen alone No data indication for TSEC if hysterectomized Uterus intact- need endometrial protection Requires progestogen or TSEC Consider TSEC over conventional EPT Breast tenderness Increased breast density Concerned about breast cancer risk Bleeding Possibly after 3-5 years of EPT- no data on switching

Maximize Benefits and Minimize Risks of HT

Lowest risk if begun win 1st 10 yrs of menopause or lt age 60 Primary indication is bothersome hot flashes and night sweats

Other indications include high risk osteoporosis depression not responding to antidepressants sleep disruption due to VMS Somatic pains migraines worsening with lowered estrogen

Benefit for CVD protection intriguing- Not contraindicated for symptomatic women gt60

If evaluate risk factors for CAD treat medical issues If continuing hormone therapy for women who began in their 50rsquos

Consider low dose transdermal- lower VTE and stroke risk Reassess regularly For many treatment can be tapered down or

stopped after a few years of use

Adapted Robert Reid SOCG 38

Clinical Pearls- Traditional or TSEC Individualizing Therapy

No uterus- Estrogen alone No data indication for TSEC if hysterectomized Uterus intact- need endometrial protection Requires progestogen or TSEC Consider TSEC over conventional EPT Breast tenderness Increased breast density Concerned about breast cancer risk Bleeding Possibly after 3-5 years of EPT- no data on switching

from EPT to TSEC

Clinical Pearls- Traditional or TSEC Individualizing Therapy

No uterus- Estrogen alone No data indication for TSEC if hysterectomized Uterus intact- need endometrial protection Requires progestogen or TSEC Consider TSEC over conventional EPT Breast tenderness Increased breast density Concerned about breast cancer risk Bleeding Possibly after 3-5 years of EPT- no data on switching

from EPT to TSEC
