BREASTHEALTH: HRT Raises Recurrence Risk Among Breast Cancer Survivors Trial was haltedFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:56:11 -0500 (CDT)
HRT Raises Recurrence Risk Among Breast Cancer Survivors Trial was halted early after risk of both recurrence and new malignancies surfaced "TUESDAY, March 25 (HealthDay News) -- European researchers report more grim news concerning women and hormone replacement therapy: Not only do healthy women run the risk of developing breast cancer while taking the therapy, breast cancer survivors who do the same face a higher risk of a recurrence or a new malignancy. The study, conducted by researchers from King's College London and Scandinavia, is published in the March 25 online issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. For women in general, the message remains the same: They should avoid taking hormone therapy unless needed for severe menopausal symptoms, and then at the lowest dose possible for the shortest amount of time." http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_62607.html Regards, Hope Waltman, Fibroid Forum and WH Forum Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org http://www.doctorsinfoweb.com/doctors/whatsnew.htm http://www.obgyn.net/fibroid-resource-center/
