The study of more than 15,000 women who took the hormones for more than five years found that the chance of developing cancer remained elevated well after they quit, which many did after an earlier stage of the study showed that the risks outweighed the benefits.
While their increased risk of heart attacks, blood clots, and strokes appeared to vanish as soon as women got off the drugs, the cancer risk persisted. It appeared to be driven primarily by a continued increased rate of breast cancer but also by a new, unexpected higher risk of other malignancies, such as lung cancer, the analysis found....
