Does hormone therapy bring with it an increased risk of breast cancer, or does it conversely lead to earlier detection of pre-existing tumors and thereby improve outcomes for these patients? Dr. Leon Speroff discusses the alleged findings of the Women's Health Initiative in this regard, and delves deep into the correlation between HRT and breast cancer, highlighting factors that may or may not substantiate a relationship. The alleged increased risk of ovarian cancer is also explored.
