To determine the effects of continuous combined hormone therapy, tibolone, black cohosh, and placebo on digitized mammographic breast density in postmenopausal women. A prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 154 postmenopausal women randomized to estradiol 2 mg/norethisterone acetate 1 mg (E2/NETA)
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and norethisterone (NET) and its derivatives are widely used in female reproductive therapy, but little is known about their mechanisms of action via steroid receptors in the female genital tract. MPA used as a contraceptive has been
Risk assessment of future breast cancer risk through exposure to sex steroids currently relies on clinical scorings such as mammographic density. Knowledge about the gene expression patterns in existing breast cancer tumors may be used to identify risk factors in
