Prophylactic mastectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in patients with breast cancer: a systematic review of postsurgical sexual function and menopausal hormone therapy symptom mitigation.

Menopausal hormone therapy offers little help in mediating symptoms. Significantly more research is needed to explore potential changes in sexual function, as it is an important aspect of quality of life for patients with BRCA positivity.
