Estrogen Therapy Increases Risk of Ovarian Cancer

Another retrospective nail in the estrogen-replacement coffin shows that women currently on estrogen have a 38% increased risk for ovarian cancer.  Women who have previously used estrogen replacement have a 16% risk, a risk that diminishes as the length of time since the last use of estrogen increases.

The study was published in JAMA¹ and involved over 900,000 Danish women ages 50-79.  Since ovarian cancer is often fatal these findings are not trivial. 

Women taking bioidentical estrogen (estradiol) in amounts beyond what their body ever makes normally should also be concerned, as the study showed that any form of estradiol was a problem.

The decades-long reckless and continued use of horse urine estrogen by the medical profession is a sad commentary on a profession that struggles helping women with their health without the use of some drug.  It is too bad that so much damage and death has occurred at their hands.  I’m still waiting for them to apologize.
