Biologie und Epidemiologie der Hormonersatztherapie - Biology and Epidemiology of Hormone Replacement Therapy: Diskussionen zur Postmenopausalen Gesundheit - Discussions on Post-Menopausal Health - 13 (2006.)

This volume contains an advanced level discussion on the appropriateness of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in modern postmenopausal women on the basis of evidence provided by recent epidemiological studies. It addresses all aspects of benefits and risks associated with HRT. It focuses, however, on cancer risk and on risk of breast cancer in particular. The book advocates further epidemiological studies which incorporate pathobiological assessments.
