Breast cancer risk of HRT/MHT
John Sharvill, Semi Retired GP, NHS
Thanks for a great article linking to the Editorial in the same issue by Paula Briggs and Janice Rymer. I am waiting for a response from the HRT lobby who regularly state no increased risk of breast cancer as well as claiming benefits for IHD and dementia.
