A Prospective Trial to Assess Breast Cancer Survivors and Vaginal Atrophy Treatment

The focus of this study is to assess breast cancer survivors perspectives of Viveve®
Treatment using patient reported outcome tools with a focus on symptoms associated with
vulvovaginal atrophy/genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). This will be assessed by the
FSFI, FSDS-R and DIVA questionnaires.

Breast cancers that are hormone sensitive require estrogen suppression as a part of
multimodal treatment. Estrogen suppression also reduces the likelihood of a breast cancer
recurrence. Therefore, breast cancer survivors with estrogen sensitive tumors are placed on
hormone suppression therapy with either selective estrogen receptor modulators like tamoxifen
or aromatase inhibitors like anastrazole. This therapy typically is administered for five
years after a cancer diagnosis. Regardless of age or pre-existing menopausal status, the
hormone suppression reduces estrogen levels and can either exacerbate existing menopausal
symptoms or induce medical menopause in otherwise premenopausal women. This study will
evaluate the patient's perspective of vaginal therapy using the Viveve® device in breast
cancer patients.
