therapy for menopause symptoms

Study: Hormone replacement therapy increases ovarian cancer risk

Bloomberg News (7/15 Ostrow) reports Women who had hormone therapy for menopause symptoms were more likely to develop ovarian cancer regardless of the length formulation or type of treatment they received according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The researchers noted that the finding suggests that no type of hormone seems safe regarding the risk of ovarian cancer. Furthermore if a woman has a special predisposition for ovarian cancer she should consider not taking hormones.
