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

In The 2022 Hormone Therapy Position Statement of The North American Menopause Society, published July 2022, the North American Menopause Society elaborate on:

“Hormone therapy remains the most effective treatment for vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and the genitourinary syndrome of menopause and has been shown to prevent bone loss and fracture. The risks of hormone therapy differ depending on type, dose, duration of use, route of administration, timing of initiation, and whether a progestogen is used. Treatment should be individualized using the best available evidence to maximize benefits and minimize risks, with periodic reevaluation of the benefits and risks of continuing therapy”.3
