HRT was supposed to (among other things) reduce breast cancer incidence.
Stopping a bad anti-cancer intervention is a hollow victory in the war against cancer.

That's the theory and hope. Has it been actually observed yet?
Shouldn't we wait with the victory parade until the actual victory?
- bsder 3y ago> HRT was supposed to (among other things) reduce breast cancer incidence. "among other things" wasn't a small group. HRT was suppposed to stave off osteoporosis, many forms of heart disease, help with obesity and diabetes, and ameliorate lots of menopause symptoms (hot flashes, brain fogs, etc.). The fact that it made breast cancer worse overrode all of those. > That's the theory and hope. Has it been actually observed yet?
