Hormone Therapy Safe After Ovarian Cancer (non-serous subtypes)

medical news research

 Although the study is limited by its retrospective design and small sample size, one of its strengths is its sole focus on nonserous epithelial ovarian cancer, "which is crucial because these histologies are linked to hormone stimulation and are associated with longer survival," the authors write. "These are the women who might benefit most from HT but who are also at highest theoretical risk of recurrence as a result of exposure to hormones. We found that these women may instead actually benefit from HT use."
