Canadian Recommendation on Hormone Therapy

"Although combined hormone replacement therapy may help to relieve menopausal symptoms, protect against osteoporosis (thinning of the bones) and reduce risk of colon cancer; research now shows that long-term use of combined HRT also increases the risk of breast cancer, heart disease, stroke and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung). Researchers now believe that the risks of long-term HRT use outweigh the benefits.

The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that women avoid taking HRT for any reason other than to relieve severe menopausal symptoms that have not responded to any other treatment."

Excerpted from a statement from the Canadian Cancer Society, http://www.cancer.ca
