CAN ESTROGEN MEDICATIONS CAUSE CANCER ?
Estrogen has been implicated in the development and progress of cancer of the breast for mainly 2 reasons.
1.Estrogen especially in excess amounts has been known to cause abnormal rates of cell division known as hyperplasia . This can ocfur in tissues with receptors for estrogen like the breast.
Hyperplasia can easily progress into abnormal cells division which could then form cancerous growths.
2. Another theory explains that some women cannot eliminate the by products from the breakdown or metabolism of estrogen. These by products are believed to be carcinogenic.
So women who have difficulty with eliminating these products fast enough are at ahigher risk of developing breast cancer.
