title: Influence of the Women's Health Initiative trial on the practice of prophylactic oophorectomy and the prescription of estrogen therapy.
abstract: Physicians have become more conservative regarding prophylactic oophorectomy after publication of the Women's Health Initiative trial. They are less likely to prescribe estrogen therapy for women who have a high risk of coronary heart disease and more likely to use nonoral routes for estrogen therapy.
