Sep. 3, 2013 Breast cancer risk associated with use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) among postmenopausal women was variable when analyzed by race/ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), and breast density, according to a new study published September 3 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Studies have reported HRT use is associated with an increase in breast cancer risk. However, differential risks by BMI and breast density have been reported. Also, studies on the effect of HRT use on breast cancer risk among black women have reported inconsistent results. Ningqi Hou, M.H.S., Ph.D., from the University of Chicago, in Chicago, IL, and colleagues analyzed 1,642,824 screening mammograms, which included 9,300 breast cancer cases, from postmenopausal women from the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium, a US registry of mammography screening. Data on HRT use were analyzed by race/ethnicity, age, BMI, and breast density using statistical methods to accommodate missing information on HRT use and other covariables. Statistically significant interactions between HRT use and each covariable were calculated. A greater than 20% increased risk in breast cancer was associated with HRT use among white women and Hispanic women, but not black women. HRT use was more strongly associated with breast cancer risk … Continue reading →

Testosterone and other anabolic steroids and growth hormone are not just about cheating and theyre not just a problem to be dealt with by Major League Baseball and other overseers of professional sports. The sale and prescribing of testosterone and other anabolic steroids and growth hormone are illegal for athletic use, body building and anti-aging, and for good reasons. These drugs, when marketed and used for medically fallacious reasons, can cause financial, physical and psychological harm. Many clinics that go by various descriptions ranging from anti-aging, age-management and wellness clinics and spas to life extension and longevity institutes cater to young men looking for drugs for body building and of course professional athletes looking for athletic performance enhancing drugs as well as more middle aged and relatively wealthy individuals succumbing to marketed pitches of youth, virility, and weight loss. This is a cash only business (except for fraudulent insurance claims) because private and public insurers wont pay for these treatments that are viewed by endocrinologists as outside the scope of the reasonable, safe and legal practice of medicine. One of the consequences of this being a cash only business is that the clinics, internet sites and compounding pharmacies are ineffectually … Continue reading →

Convicted WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning says he wants to undergo hormone therapy while in prison. NEW YORK (CNNMoney) But even outside of prison walls, getting this kind of medical help is often a struggle. In the corporate world, only 42% of employers have insurance plans that cover short-term leave, mental health counseling, hormone therapy and surgical procedures for transgender employees, according to a survey by the Human Rights Campaign. That's up from 19% in 2008, but it still means the majority of employers don't offer this coverage. And paying out of pocket can be a heavy burden. Related: Transgender job seekers face uphill battle The cost to transition from one gender to another varies greatly. Hormone replacement therapy can cost around $30 per month and therapist visits can cost more than $100 each. Undergoing surgery is less common but typically rings up at anywhere between $5,000 and $30,000 depending on the kind of operation, estimates Masen Davis, executive director of the Transgender Law Center. "It can be difficult for transgender individuals -- especially the lower income and unemployed -- to pay for the medical care they need to be themselves," said Davis.

The hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, that Army Pfc. Bradley Manning has requested alters the bodys balance of sex hormones estrogen for male-to-female and testosterone for female-to-male transitions. Sometimes, male-to-female patients will also be given progesterone, another steroid typically produced by the ovaries, as well as a testosterone blocker such as spironolactone. It basically initiates a second puberty. The full effects of that will typically take two to three years, said Marci L. Bowers, a California-based gynecologist and surgeon who has performed hundreds of gender-change operations over the past decade.
