My Turn: The benefits of estrogen replacement after menopause
Modified: 12/18/2020 6:00:49 AM
Thank you Sharon Gunser and Katherine Cail for your well-written article headlined “Breast cancer risk factors and treatment options” in last Sunday’s
Monitor.
As the writers pointed out, survival rates have improved by identifying women at high risk, early detection, and better therapy. Today, five in six women survive their breast cancers.
Gunser and Cail listed 12 risk factors for developing breast cancer, the last of which was combination (estrogen/progesterone) hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
My only concern with the report is that readers might interpret this risk to exclude all hormone replacement.
