That's when researchers abruptly halted part of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), a major federally funded clinical study to assess the effect of long-term use of hormone therapy (HT). In the 6-8 months after publication of findings from the Women's Health Initiative on the risks associated with postmenopausal hormone therapy, more than half of women in a large California health plan who had been regularly using hormone therapy tried to stop, even though two-thirds overall did not know what the study's main findings were, according to a survey of female members of the plan. Earlier this year, researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle also reported a significantly higher breast cancer risk from hormone therapy and cited 28 previous studies linking the drugs to breast cancer. |
