Hormone Replacement Therapy

 

Program Description

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been available to women for decades. Although estrogen and progesterone formulations have changed over the years, the controversy surrounding the use of HRT has not. In the wake of recent data from landmark trials, including the Women’s Health Initiative, physicians and patients are often left with questions concerning the relative benefits and risks of HRT. In this program, Dr. Gae Rodke offers an historical overview of HRT, along with a contemporary perspective on what the latest data mean for women considering HRT today. Using a case-presentation format, Dr. Rodke discusses key issues in the decision to recommend HRT for patients. Dr. Richard N. Pierson moderates the discussion and provides practical commentary.
