Dr. Charles Mok argues that fear of HRT causing breast cancer is misplaced. The Women's Health Study found estrogen-only therapy was associated with fewer breast cancers, and adding testosterone to estrogen markedly reduces risk over the last 15 years of research. Estrogen and testosterone also protect against cardiovascular disease.

Look at the breast cancer concerns. Breast cancer is obviously a big concern for women for righteous reasons, and we need to survey for it. But the fear of using hormones because of the cause of breast cancer is actually very misplaced. Again, the study, the Women's Health study, showed women on estrogen only the premiere and had less breast cancers. And combining testosterone with estrogen markedly reduces breast cancer risk. According to studies over the last, say, 15 years. Estrogen does protect against cardiovascular risk. Testosterone does to some degree.
