LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Assess the potential role of ET, HT, and SERMs in treatment regimens in menopausal women utilizing an understanding of estrogen receptors, estrogen signaling pathways, and selectivity.
- Assess the mechanisms of action, efficacy, safety, and clinical/patient considerations of
ET, HT, and SERM therapies to develop customized therapeutic interventions for menopausal women that improve their outcomes.
- Evaluate the potential burden of disease resulting from menopause.
- Assess the pros and cons of ET and HT therapy based on the most recent insights into the WHI study analyses and patient selection criteria for these agents to integrate therapies into successful treatment regimens for optimal outcomes in menopausal patients.
- Differentiate the selectivity, potency, and mechanisms of action of current and emerging SERMs to identify the optimal SERM profile for customized therapy for menopausal patients.
- Utilize an understanding of ET, HT, and SERM therapy-related side effects to develop interventions that minimize side effects in order to maintain patients on therapy with optimal QOL.
