Breast tumors and hormone therapy
From Times wire reports
The types of breast tumors that occur after combination hormone replacement therapy in women going through menopause and in post-menopausal women tend to have a better prognosis than those after estrogen-only replacement therapy, say Swedish researchers.
A team at Malmo University Hospital conducted a study involving 12,583 peri- or post-menopausal women whose medical records were linked to national cancer registries.
Of the group, 513 had a history of breast cancer prior to enrollment.
