A new relationship between hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and breast cancer has emerged, which may be of interest to sickness insurance customers.
A Canadian study has found that whilst cases of breast cancer dropped in line with fewer people taking HRT, rates began to creep up again in following years.
The Canadian Cancer Society suggests that HRT causes tumours to grow more rapidly and show up on tests. With fewer people taking the treatment, cancer took longer to grow and appear on official figures.
Sickness insurance customers will appreciate the comments from Breakthrough Breast Cancer's Dr Sarah Rawlings, who remarks that "it will be important to continue to study the effects of HRT on breast cancer incidence and development."
