Improving Behandeling of Radiation-Induced Premature Ovarian Insufficiency After Cervixcarcinoom: A Practice Quality Improvement Initiative

Curative-intent pelvic radiation for cervical cancer causes premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) in premenopausal patients. Despite evidence-based recommendations for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to treat POI, prior studies have shown low HRT use among cervical cancer survivors, particularly those treated with radiation. This study evaluates the impact of practice quality improvement (PQI) initiative within a radiation oncology department on the rates of HRT prescriptions, POI documentation, and counseling.
