Evaluating Patient Candidacy, Risks, and the Latest Clinical Evidence
Determining which patients are appropriate candidates for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) requires more than simply reviewing laboratory values or following outdated guidelines. Join Angela DeRosa, DO, MBA, CPE, Medical Director at Belmar Pharma Solutions, as she explores the latest clinical evidence surrounding hormone therapy and provides a practical framework for evaluating both female and male patients. Drawing on more than 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. DeRosa examines common misconceptions, explains how to interpret the research behind hormone therapy, and discusses why individualized patient care remains the cornerstone of successful treatment.
What You’ll Learn: Women’s Health, Clinical Evidence, and BHRT
This webinar reviews the landmark studies that have shaped today’s understanding of hormone therapy, including the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) and more recent research evaluating breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, testosterone therapy, and prostate health. Dr. DeRosa explains how statistical interpretation, media messaging, and evolving clinical evidence have influenced provider perceptions of BHRT and offers practical guidance for distinguishing relative versus absolute risk when counseling patients.
Practical Guidance for Clinical Decision-Making
In addition to reviewing the evidence, Dr. DeRosa outlines her clinical approach to determining appropriate candidates for hormone therapy. Learn how to evaluate common contraindications and relative risks, navigate complex patient scenarios, collaborate with specialists when appropriate, and select individualized treatment strategies for both women and men. The presentation also addresses testosterone therapy, cardiovascular health, breast and prostate cancer considerations, and the importance of balancing current research with patient preferences and shared decision-making.
