Hormone Therapy in Menopause

New research published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal The Lancet correlates hormone therapy in menopause with increased chances of breast cancer.

A new meta-analysis of studies adds new evidence for hormone therapy in menopause, concluding that many women receiving hormone therapy at this time are more likely to develop breast cancer. A second key finding from this analysis is that these women have been at higher risk for cancer for more than a decade after they stop taking hormones.[/p>
