Purpose of the guideline: Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is more prevalent among breast cancer patients, with a notable absence of timely and effective diagnosis and treatment, severely impacting patients' quality of life and prognosis. With the improved survival rates of breast cancer patients, the management of cancer has entered an era of chronic disease management. However, there is still a lack of targeted guidelines or consensus for the management of GSM in female breast cancer patients within China. Based on the guideline / expert consensus and the clinical experience of multiple medical centers, the Society of Clinical Cancer Research Administration of China Anti-Cancer Association, Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Committee of China Anti-Cancer Association, Chongqing Federation of Clinical Medical Research, Committee of Urology of Chongqing medical association, and the Society of Onco-endocrinology of Chongqing Anti-Cancer Association thoroughly discussed and formulated the Chinese expert consensus recommendations for management of genitourinary syndrome of menopause in female breast cancer patients (version 2024), in order to further standardize the management of GSM in breast cancer patients.
