This paper presents the results of retrospective studies, the purpose of which was to determine the rate of recurrent CC in women receiving MHT compared with the control group. Conclusion. On the one hand, menopausal symptoms developing after surgery (after both panhysterectomy and organ-sparing surgery) and radiation with or without systemic (cytostatic) treatments continue to remain relevant to patients who have successfully completed treatment for squamous cell cancer of the cervix.
