Hormone therapy, estrogen metabolism, and risk of breast cancer in the Women’s Health Initiative Hormone Therapy Trial
In the Women's Health Initiative Hormone Trials (WHI-HT), breast cancer risk was increased with estrogen plus progestin (E+P) but not with unopposed estrogen (E-alone). We hypothesized that E+P would preferentially metabolize to 16a-hydroxyestrone (16a-OHE1) rather than 2-hydroxyestrone (2-OHE1), and that breast cancer risk would be associated with baseline and 1 year changes in estrogen metabolites: positively for 16a-OHE1 levels and negatively for levels of 2-OHE-1 and the 2:16 ratio.In a pros...
