Menopausal Hormone Therapies and Risk of Colorectal Cancer
Abstract and Introduction Abstract Background: Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) has been associated with various malignancies. Aims: To investigate the association of various MHT regimens with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: All MHT ever-users (n = 290 186) were included through the Swedish Prescribed Drug Registry, with a 1:3 group-level matching to non-users. Ever-users were defined as women who received ≥1 dispensed prescription of systemic MHT during 2005–2012 in Sweden.
