title: Estrogens in the postmenopausal woman.
abstract: Newspapers, magazines, television and the medical press have all carried articles warning against a relationship between estrogens and cancer. The main causes of this outbreak seem to have been articles appearing in the New England Journal of Medicine in December 1975 and the spring of 1976.The evidence for and against a causal relationship is reviewed and no basis found for this accusation. The article goes on to review what is known about the effect of estrogens on osteoporosis, thromboembolism and arteriosclerosis.
