  • Management of specific symptoms and problems, such as hot flashes, cognitive changes, breast masses, and osteoporosis
  • Preventive clinical practice, featuring in-depth coverage of hormone replacement therapies
  • Alternative therapies, including vitamins, herbs, and phytoestrogens

    Separate sections cover screening tests and all major alternative therapies.
