Hormone replacement linked to gallbladder cancerhttp://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2002/06/27/eline/links/20020627elin017.html Hormone replacement linked to gallbladder cancer Last Updated: 2002-06-27 12:02:39 -0400 (Reuters Health) NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new study from Italy has found a link between hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in menopause and increased gallbladder cancer risk. The findings are the first evidence of such an association, Dr. Silvano Gallus, of Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche "Mario Negri," Milan, told Reuters Health. The study participants included 31 women aged 45 to 79 with gallbladder cancer and 3,702 healthy women matched by age. All were participating in a 12-year study of digestive tract cancers. In the June 10th International Journal of Cancer, the authors report that women who had ever used HRT had more than triple the likelihood of developing gallbladder cancer, and this risk tended to increase with the length of HRT use. Because gallbladder cancer is quite rare, and the increased risk is rather small, the findings have limited implications for individual and public health, Gallus said, but they do help provide additional information on how to assess HRT's risks and benefits.

 "A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C. Jarvis, September 28, 1820 "What's the point of vaccination if it doesn't protect you from the unvaccinated?" -- Sandy Gottstein "Who gets to decide what the greater good is and how many will be sacrificed to it?" -- Sandy Gottstein |
