Is there an association between hormone therapy (HT) and the risk of lung cancer development?

In The Association Between Hormone Therapy and the Risk of Lung Cancer In Postmenopausal Women: A 16-Year Nationwide Population-Based Study: Conclusions, published May 2023, the authors conclude:

“Our results indicate that HT is not associated with the risk of lung cancer development in postmenopausal women; furthermore, a higher cumulative dosage and the long-term effects of HT reduce the risk of developing lung cancer”.2

“Every woman is different, and you will decide about whether to use HT based on the severity of your
symptoms, your personal and family health history, and your own beliefs about menopause treatments. Your
healthcare professional will be able to help you with your decision”.3
