20.500.12556/DiRROS-17818 Advantages and disadvantages of hormone replacement therapy In the developed countries, more than 30% of female population is in the postmenopusal period of their life. Approximately one third of these present with severe clinical menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes, sleeplessness, night sweats, and depression. Many women search medical help. By means of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), these problems can be either completely eliminated or alleviated in 90% of women. The suspected association between HRT and risk of carcinoma should be ignored, however. While estrogens in combination with progestogens exert a protective effec against ovarian and endometrial carcinomas, a possible correlation between HRT and breast cancer has not been fully explained yet. Nevertheless, some published reports have indicated a slightly increased risk of breast cancer after a prolonged use of HRT. true false true Slovenian Medical Society - Section of Radiology ; Croatian Medical Association - Croatian Society of Radiology Ljubljana Angleški jezik Ni določen by Authors Neznano 2024-01-16 09:43:59 2024-01-16 09:44:00 2024-01-17 03:40:21 0000-00-00 00:00:00 1996 0 0 BSDOCID28241; str. 210-213 št. 3 Let. 30 1996 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1996-01-01 616-006 1318-2099 5104857 RAZ_Bebar_Sonja_1996.pdf RAZ_Bebar_Sonja_1996.pdf 1 DBBFB5C6A8FFEDB82CBDDC10591BDE2D a4887c87252e6155b0e341b2d5f2a68d3fbfc831dda876732ea5264d45a4f8fe 98048cf9-b44b-11ee-b0d4-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=24179 Onkološki inštitut Ljubljana 0 0 0
