In U.S., No Comeback Seen for Hormone Therapy

and benefits of hormone replacement therapy for younger women," Gapstur said. "That's where we need to focus our attention."

Bufalino agrees, arguing there's little point in pushing such therapy when there's so much downside and so little benefit.

"There are some small subgroups inside the groups that show some statistical benefit, but I think we would all be cautious at this time based on this report," Bufalino said of the American Cancer Society research. "If you just look at it on the surface, it's not clearly definitive."

And perhaps adding fuel to the fire of doubts, reports emerged Aug. 5 that a pharmaceutical company that makes HRT had paid a medical communications firm to help produce 26 studies supporting its use. Those studies were published in 18 medical journals between 1998 and 2005, according to a report first published by the New York Times.

The drug maker, Wyeth, contends that the studies were scientifically accurate. None of the papers disclosed Wyeth's role in initiating and funding the work.
