Evidence is mounting that hormone therapy (HT) after menopause is not associated with increased risks, despite earlier concerns. A recent meta-analysis of a number of studies that is being presented at the Endocrine Society’s meeting in San Diego found no statistically significant relationship between HT and death due to any reason, or death due to heart attack, breast cancer or stroke. The investigators from the Mayo Clinic indicated in a press release that the data should help to allay concerns from women about treating symptoms of menopause.
