BREASTHEALTH: Estrogen TherapyFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 12 Apr 2008 21:36:29 -0500 (CDT)
Estrogen Therapy Increases Benign Breast Disease Risk "Women who took conjugated equine estrogen, a commonly prescribed form of estrogen, had more than twice the risk of developing specific types of benign breast disease as women who took a placebo, according to a randomized controlled trial published online April 8 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. A total of 232 cases of benign proliferative breast disease were identified, with 155 cases among the women who took estrogen supplements and 77 in the placebo group. The risk of developing benign disease increased by more than two-fold for women taking conjugated equine estrogen, compared with those taking a placebo." http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/103354.php Regards, Hope Waltman, Fibroid Forum and WH Forum Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org http://www.doctorsinfoweb.com/doctors.htm http://www.obgyn.net/fibroid-resource-center/
