Re: BREASTHEALTH: Study firmly ties HRT to breast cancer - December 16, 2008 From: Walter Futterweit, MD, FACE,FACP (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu, 25 Dec 2008 19:49:09 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Antoinette: "Re: ULTRASOUND: Internal Echoes" Previous message: William F. von Almen, II, MD, FACOG: "Re: PREGNANCY: Low fetal HR at 6 weeks" In reply to: Hope Waltman: "BREASTHEALTH: Study firmly ties HRT to breast cancer - December 16, 2008" Next in thread: Robin: "Re: BREASTHEALTH: Study firmly ties HRT to breast cancer - December 16, 2008" Reply: Robin: "Re: BREASTHEALTH: Study firmly ties HRT to breast cancer - December 16, 2008" Reply: Hope Waltman: "Re: BREASTHEALTH: Study firmly ties HRT to breast cancer - High insulin levels" Dr. Futterweit:I am glad that Hope Waldman brought this to the attention to womenwho look at this forum. There is other strong literature that supports this study. In general the adage that women should not take postmenopausal HRT for more than 5 years should be reduced to a maximum of 3 and rarely 4 years. In general, women over 35 and certainly 40 should not be on the pill for more than the small but significant increase in breast ca., since there is also a definite rise in insulin resistance as well. Thank you Hope.
