Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Linked to Cancer?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used to relieve symptoms of menopause by replenishing estrogen and progesterone levels. However, studies have shown that HRT, particularly combined estrogen-progesterone therapy, can increase the risk of certain cancers, including breast and endometrial cancers. The decision to use HRT should be carefully discussed with a healthcare provider, weighing the benefits and risks.
