Hormone Replacement Therapy May Be An Option For Some Survivors.(Brief Article)
2001 DEC 27 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The Breast Cancer Care & Research Fund's web site, Breastlink.org, features a study of some 2755 breast cancer patients showing that women who used hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after diagnosis had significantly fewer recurrences and deaths than nonusers.
Similarly, a review of the literature on use of hormone replacement therapy by breast cancer survivors revealed no adverse effect on recurrence. However, experts urge caution.
"If a breast cancer survivor is interested in taking HRT, it should be very clear why she's interested and what alternatives there are for the problem," says Rena Sellin, MD, professor of medicine, University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas.
