HRT and risk of Breast Cancer
In yet another blow against the conclusions of the WHI, Howard Hodis at USC and Phillip Sarrel at Yale point out that in all the WHI papers studying breast cancer, the risk of breast cancer among women randomized to estrogen alone (consistently reported as showing no increased risk) was the same as the risk of breast cancer among women randomized to the combination of estrogen and progestin (HRT) (reported as showing an increased risk in some papers). The different conclusion was due to the low risk noted in the HRT control group (randomized to placebo). When this HRT treated subjects are compared to the placebo control subjects from the estrogen only study, no increase in risk is noted.
We urge interested readers and physicians to read this important paper.
