Summary

Of all the things women worry about when it comes to hormone therapy, breast cancer, for many, tops the list. Our current understanding of breast cancer risk–even among at-risk women–has changed dramatically in recent years and continues to evolve. To fully understand hormone therapy and breast cancer risk, we need to understand that hormone therapy is not all the same, nor is breast cancer. There are many forms and formulations of hormone therapy and there are many variations of the disease we call breast cancer. This week we break it all down with the Director of the Gynecology Center for Cancer Survivors and At-Risk Women at UCSF, Dr. Mindy Goldman, who wants all women to know, no matter their situation, they do not have to suffer with menopausal symptoms.

Mindy Goldman, MD, is Chief Clinical Officer & Clinical Professor Emeritus at UCSF. For almost three decades, Dr. Goldman has been a Clinical Professor in the Department of OB/GYN at UCSF, where she is also the Director of the Gynecology Center for Cancer Survivors and At-Risk Women. In addition to her role as Midi’s Chief Clinical Officer, she is a nationally recognized expert in the management of women’s health issues, including menopause, for women with cancer or at high risk. She has helped author guidelines in these areas for the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG). She is on the survivorship panel for the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) where she is the Chair of the menopause panel and the Co-Chair of the sexual functioning panel, which provide guidelines in these topic areas for practicing oncologists. Throughout her career, Dr. Goldman has received numerous recognitions, including: San Francisco Magazine: Top Doctors (2015-2022), America's Top Doctors for Cancer (7th-10th Edition) and Exceptional Women In Medicine (2019-2021). You can learn more about her and her work at Dr. Mindy Goldman.

0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers, and other experts to help you feel and perform you best, no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:32.0	Hello, strong, feisty women.
0:34.9	So I have one of those deep dive episodes on tap for you, so buckle up. I have done a few shows on breast health and menopause. Most recently, I had on the wonderful Dr. Amy Commander, who convinced me to go get my mammogram after many years of not making that
0:55.1	appointment, and now I've been doing it on the regular.
0:57.9	Thank you, Amy.
0:59.2	I also had on Dr. Corin Menn, who is a young breast cancer survivor herself, and is really
1:05.3	rewriting the script on hormones and breast cancer.
1:08.1	I had her on twice, as a matter of fact.
1:10.4	I invite you to check out all of those
1:12.5	shows if you're interested in this topic. But I haven't devoted a whole show to hormone
1:18.1	therapy and breast cancer risk specifically. So it was high time to do that. And boy,
1:24.3	this one did not disappoint. I had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Mindy Goldman, who is a clinical professor in the
1:32.3	Department of OBGYN at the University of California, San Francisco, where she is also the
1:38.5	director of the Gynecology Center for Cancer Survivors and at-risk women.
1:43.5	So she is deeply connected to this topic,
1:47.5	including how hormone therapy impacts breast health, what we know about breast cancer risk
1:52.5	and hormones, and really what everyone who is concerned about this topic should know. And as you
1:58.2	might imagine, it's complex because hormone therapy, as I say all the time
2:03.9	and has come up on this show a million times over the past four years is not one thing. And the forms
