In this issue of the Journal, Woodson et al. (1) present findings on the role of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the risk of adenoma recurrence from a prospective study nested in the Polyp Prevention Trial (PPT). Their results show that current HRT use is not associated with recurrence of adenomatous polyps. However, the investigators did observe a statistically significant interaction by age. Among women aged 62 years and older, an inverse association between HRT use and the risk of adenoma recurrence was shown (odds ratio [OR] = 0.58; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.35 to 0.97), whereas among women aged . . .
