Hormone replacement therapy is now simply called hormone replacement because of research discoveries identifying possible severe risks associated with this treatment which was very favourably viewed earlier. Now the lowest effective dose and the shortest duration of treatment acceptable is advised. This new book presents state-of-the-art research from around the world in HR and its relation to endometrial cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, mood and anxiety disorders, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease and bone mass.
