Understanding Hormone Therapy and Breast Cancer Risk
Hormone therapy (HT), involving estrogen alone or combined with progestin, helps alleviate menopausal symptoms. However, its use raises concerns about breast cancer risk, especially with indeterminate calcifications on mammograms. A study by Lochner and Brubaker found no significant difference in malignancy rates between HT users and non-users overall, but estrogen-progestin users had a higher malignancy rate (17.6%) compared to estrogen-only users (5.8%). This suggests the type of HT affects risk. Women should discuss personal risk factors and treatment options with healthcare providers to make informed decisions.
