Postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy and meningioma.
A retrospective study including more than 350,000 women, about 1400 of whom had developed meningioma, showed that the risk of meningioma was about twice as high in users of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy as in non-users. Hormone replacement therapy should be discontinued if meningioma is diagnosed.
