ORLANDO, Florida (AP) – Study – There is more troubling news about hormone therapy for menopause symptoms: Lung cancer seems more likely to prove fatal in women who are taking estrogen-progestin pills, a study suggests.
Hormone users who developed lung cancer were 70 percent more likely to die from the disease as women who were not taking hormones, according to results reported Saturday.
The new findings mean smokers should stop taking hormones, and those who have not yet started hormones should give it careful thought, said Dr. Rowan Chlebowski of Harbor UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. He led the analysis and presented results at a meeting of the oncology society in Florida.
If a prescription is your only choice ask your doctor about much safer bio identical hormones than synthetic hormones.
