WOMAN IN TRANSITION
Menopause, Hormones, Cancer Risk, and Early Detection

Tuesday, October 27, 2026, 6:00 p.m.
Kurfürstensaal, Amtsgasse 5, Heppenheim

Menopause brings about profound changes in a woman’s body.

But how do these hormonal changes affect a woman’s personal risk of cancer?

What role do hormone replacement therapies play, and what does effective, modern preventive care look like—care that detects cancer early or even prevents it?

Our experts will provide clear and practical information. The focus will be on these questions:

  • Hormones and Menopause: How do the body and cancer risk change during this phase of life?
  • Focus on Cancer Risk: What factors contribute to the development of gynecological cancers in women?
  • Early Detection and Prevention: Which modern screening methods are truly effective today?
  • Practical Tips and Self-Care: How do you properly examine your breasts, and what should you look for?

Join us this evening to learn how you can actively protect your health during and after menopause.

In addition to in-depth expert presentations, an interactive session awaits you, during which you can practice proper self-examination directly on anatomical models under expert guidance.

Take this opportunity to ask the experts your personal questions directly.

Seating is limited.
Admission is free.
