Is there a link between HRT and breast cancer?

Answered By Macy Waltersson and Brian Laing, Editors


There has been no established link between hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer. As a women age, the risk of getting breast cancer also increases. There have been studies which show that women using HRT for ten to fifteen years may have a slight increase for developing a breast cancer. Further studies even show that HRT is associated with the increase in risk of having breast cancer for most thin women. This is a new one, since most people know that obesity is considered a risk factor for breast cancer.
