Researchers ponder why estrogen-only HRT may reduce breast cancer risk
Breast cancer risk may decline in postmenopausal women who take estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy, a review released Thursday concludes. That represents a substantial change from how estrogen-only hormone therapy was viewed a decade ago, the authors said. Older observational studies suggested that both of the major forms of hormone therapy — estrogen-only for women who have had hysterectomies and an estrogen-progestin combination for women with uteruses — raised breast cancer risk.

Estrogen-Only HRT May Reduce Breast Cancer Risk for Women With Hysterectomies
A new study published in Lancet Oncology states that estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may protect a small group of women against breast cancer. The findings of this study are in direct contradiction to multiple other studies that state estrogen can cause breast cancer. Should women consider taking estrogen to prevent breast cancer?

Behavioral therapy may help hot flashes:study
(Reuters) – A few sessions of behavioral therapy, even a “self-help” version, may help some women find relief from menopausal hot flashes, according to a British study. Researchers writing in the journal Menopause said that after six weeks of cognitive behavioral therapy, more than two-thirds of the women who underwent, through group sessions or self-help, had a “clinically significant” drop in problems related to hot flashes and night sweats.

Estrogen only HRT in some postmenopausal women could lower breast cancer risk: Study
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD A new study has found that women who used estrogen alone as hormone replacement therapy after menopause had a lower risk of developing breast cancer up to five years after they stopped taking it. The report is a follow-up analysis of the landmark Women’s Health Initiative, a clinical trial of tens of thousands of women begun in 1993 that sought to clarify the risks and benefits of two hormone replacement therapy regimens in postmenopausal women: estrogen plus progestin, which most women must take, and estrogen alone, taken by women who have had hysterectomies. The double-hormone arm of the study was abruptly halted in 2002 after scientists found that it raised the risk of breast cancer without conferring hoped-for benefits on the heart. Continue reading

Estrogen taken alone linked to lower breast cancer risk
LOS ANGELES – Many women who used just estrogen as hormone replacement therapy after menopause had a lower risk of developing breast cancer up to five years after they stopped taking it, a study has found. The research, published Tuesday, adds another twist to the story on whether hormone replacement therapy helps some women beyond treating menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and poor sleep quality. The report follows a landmark Women’s Health Initiative, a clinical trial of tens of thousands of women begun in 1993 that sought to clarify the risks of two hormone replacement therapies in postmenopausal women: estrogen plus progestin, and estrogen alone, taken by women who have had hysterectomies.

Estrogen After Menopause Lowers Breast Cancer Risk for Some Women
If one things clear about the data on the health effects of hormone replacement therapy after menopause, its that theyre confusing. But researchers are continually learning more about which women can safely use estrogen or progestin, and when. In the latest study, published in the journal Lancet Oncology, scientists once again mined data from the Womens Health Initiative (WHI) the large-scale trial begun in 1991 that first looked at the relationship between hormone replacement therapy and health risks such as breast cancer and heart disease Continue reading

Estrogen-Only Hormone Replacement Therapy May Reduce Breast Cancer Risk
While some forms of hormone replacement therapy have been found to increase breast cancer risk, therapies that use only estrogen may actually protect women against the disease, a new study says. Women in the study who took estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for six years were 23 percent less likely to develop breast cancer five years after they had stopped the therapy compared with women who never received HRT Continue reading

Is Estrogen Safe After Menopause?
Millions of women seeking relief from hot flashes, night sweats and other postmenopausal symptoms — but fearing the risks of hormone replacement therapy — have some reassurance from new research on estrogen-only HRT. A new study suggests that estrogen-only HRT may lower the risk of breast cancer for some postmenopausal women. However, the findings apply to a particular subset of those women — those who have had a hysterectomy, have no increased risk of breast cancer and no increased risk of strokes and blood clots.

'Very clear reassurance' about estrogen-only therapy
On average, women who took estrogen-only hormone replacement for five to seven years because of menopausal symptoms had a significant reduction in invasive breast cancer and death, and the effect carried through for all age groups even after the women stopped taking the pills, according to the latest in-depth look at results from a huge trial begun in 1993. The analysis, published in the latest issue of The Lancet Oncology, was a reaffirmation and a more detailed look at general results reported nearly a year ago from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), a landmark study of women’s hormone-replacement therapy. “This provides very clear reassurance for women with a hysterectomy that they can use estrogen alone to treat menopausal symptoms with no real breast-cancer risk,” said lead author Garnet Anderson, a biostatistician at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and principal investigator of the WHI Clinical Coordinating Center Continue reading

Scientists followed the progress of some 7,500 women who took oestrogen-only HRT for seven years and were monitored for a further 4.7 years. They were 23% less likely to have developed develop breast cancer than other women in the study who were given a “dummy” placebo treatment Continue reading

Estrogen-Only Therapy May Reduce Breast Cancer Risk
TUESDAY, March 6 (HealthDay News) — Some women who take estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy to stave off hot flashes, night sweats and other symptoms of menopause may be at lower risk for developing breast cancer down the road, a news study says. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) fell from grace rather dramatically after a large government-run trial, the U.S. Women’s Health Initiative, was stopped early in 2002 because HRT was shown to increase the risk of strokes and breast and ovarian cancer Continue reading

Hormone replacement therapy questions continue
Perhaps if there were other really effective medications to treat menopausal symptoms people wouldn’t care so much about the safety of hormone replacement therapy. But there aren’t medications that work as well as estrogen alone (for women who have hysterectomies) or estrogen plus progestin (for those with a uterus) to stop hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, foggy thinking, vaginal dryness, mood swings and other problems that crop up for some women during the menopausal transition. That’s why studies such as one released Tuesday that further clarify the safety of hormone replacement continue to remain of keen interest to women and their doctors. Continue reading
