2 Years of Hormone Use May Be 'Safe'
Date:2/3/2009

The study was expected to appear in the March issue of the journal Cancer and has been published online.

In the Canadian report, the doctors' group said that it was revising its guidelines for use of hormone replacement therapy, because evidence has shown that the drugs offer a safe and viable option for women experiencing troublesome menopause symptoms.

However, it was recommending that hormone therapy should start early in menopause and be used only short-term, according to an account in the Canadian Press.

In 2002, a large U.S. study found that menopausal hormone therapy increased the risk of heart attack and stroke. But, the Canadian experts said, that study incorrectly concluded that the increased risk seen in older women applied to all women who use the drugs.

More information

The U.S. National Cancer Institute has more about hormone therapy and cancer.
