✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

Women who reach menopause after receiving treatment for breast carcinoma have been advised to avoid estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), but the validity of this practice is being reappraised and the need for prospective studies is discussed. The likely response of potential participants to the tangible rather than theoretic option for ERT provides not only useful information for planning such studies but also important insights into the attitudes and expectations of breast cancer survivors.

METHODS.

Women with a history of localized breast carcinoma, potentially eligible for participation in this prospective ERT study, were interviewed in person or by telephone and were asked to consider participation in a prospective, randomized study of ERT. In addition, information was obtained regarding their disease stage, estrogen receptor (ER) status, age at diagnosis, age at interview, and elapsed time since cancer treatment.
