A new report from a team at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center claims a 7% drop in the annual rate of breast cancer in women who are post-menopausal and not on, or who have stopped, Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT.
The data only compares the calendar years 2002-2003 but the drop applies to women nationwide. The researchers revealed their dramatic findings at the 29th annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
According to the researchers and most medical professionals, there appears to be a clear linkage between the use of HRT and breast cancer in post-menopausal patients.
To learn more about the link between HRT and breast cancer and the results of this study, watch our video news story linked above and hear the perspective of Dr. Michael Thun from the American Cancer Society.
