Excerpt

Although use of conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) appears to reduce the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women who have undergone hysterectomy, combination therapy with CEE plus medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) appears to increase the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women with an intact uterus. These were findings of an analysis of long-term follow-up data from two Women's Health Initiative (WHI) trials published in JAMA.1
