The American Journal of Medicine, 1996
For decades, observers have noted that women lose their natural resistance to coronary disease following menopause. It is now known that this increase in coronary risk is due to the loss of the protective effect of estrogen. Although still somewhat controversial, estrogen replacement therapy appears to offer significant cardioprotective benefits to ...

JAMA, 1980
Elsewhere in this issue Ross et al (p 1635) report on a retrospective study apparently linking menopausal use of estrogen with an excess risk of breast cancer. In fact, the overall results do not show a significant difference in estrogen use between cases and controls. The significant findings are limited to the subgroup with intact ovaries.

In a large study, it was found that women who took estrogen have increased risk of breast cancer, leg clots, and nonfatal strokes, although many women in the study were older.

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2001To evaluate the persistence rate for estrogen therapy and to identify its determinants.From the Quebec health insurance database we chose a cohort of 4527 women 35 years and older who received social assistance and were new users of estrogen between January 1989 and December 1997. Incident use was defined by the absence of any dispensed prescription of
