Jennifer Ligibel, MD, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA, explores the impact of acupuncture on hot flashes in women undergoing endocrine therapy for early breast cancer. The study, part of a three-country initiative across the USA, China, and South Korea, showed a significant reduction in the frequency and severity of hot flashes, alongside improved quality of life, for women who received acupuncture compared to the control group. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2024 Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
