Epidemiology, 2004
A recent meta-analysis concluded that there was no overall association between estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer. However, several subsequent studies have suggested that long-term ERT could increase ovarian cancer risk.We prospectively examined the association of ERT with epithelial ovarian cancer among 31,381 ...
