Health Care Provider
If I choose to use HT what is my risk of lung cancer?
Different women who choose to use HT can have different risks of lung cancer. It may therefore be in your best interest to also choose to talk to your health care provider about this.
One of the points of consensus about menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) in the Revised Global Consensus Statement on Menopausal Hormone Therapy: Section B: General Principles Governing the Use of MHT – endorsed by seven menopause-related organizations – published online 20 June 2016, is:
- “The option of MHT is an individual decision in terms of quality of life and health priorities as well as personal risk factors such as age, time since menopause and the risk of VTE, stroke, ischemic heart disease and breast cancer. MHT should not be recommended without a clear indication for its use”.5
What is VTE?
VTE can be an abbreviation for Venous Thromboembolism.
