Women considering hormone replacement therapy (#HRT) can be reassured about the risk of #BreastCancer. New research suggests that HRT is generally linked to only small increased risks. Different types of HRT were linked to different risks of breast cancer.
The researchers looked at data from 99,000 women with #BreastCancer aged between 50 and 79. Each was matched to five other women who did not have breast cancer. This was so researchers could look at the association between taking HRT and having a diagnosis of breast cancer.
