Bozzuto’s breast cancer side effect research featured by UW Health

Laura Bozzuto, MD, MS, assistant professor in the Division of Academic Specialists in Obstetrics and Gynecology, had her research featured in UW Health, which focuses on ways to improve breast cancer survivorship.

In “Research examines treatment side effects in estrogen-positive breast cancer patients,” Bozzuto discusses research that compares the side effects of both ovary removal and medically-induced menopause via injections in order to reduce estrogen for patients with estrogen-positive breast cancers.

“I think it is important to understand how these treatments impact people’s quality of life and how we potentially help them. That, ultimately, may help their ability to stay compliant with the medications and improve their cancer outcomes,” said Bozzuto.
