Jury decides hormone therapy caused Utah woman’s breast cancer

Posted: Published on September 8th, 2012

Courts Jury finds hormone therapy led to breast cancer; drug companies vow to appeal. A federal jury awarded $5.1 million in compensatory damages to a Utah woman Friday after finding hormone therapy drugs caused her breast cancer and drugmakers were negligent because they failed to adequately warn of that risk on labels provided to doctors and patients. The U.S. District Court jury, comprised of seven women and five men, sat through four weeks of expert testimony and scientific presentations before being handed the case early Wednesday afternoon. They came back with a decision two days later. Toshiko Okuda, who filed her case in 2004, wept at the news after the jury left the courtroom. In a statement released later through James Esparza, her Utah attorney, Okuda said she was "pleased that the jury, after four weeks of hearing the facts of this case, elected to stand up and tell Wyeth and Upjohn that their conduct in marketing and promoting Premarin, Provera and Prempro was unreasonable and irresponsible for an American corporation." "I plan to move forward and will support other women when they have their day in court," Okuda added. "I want to thank all the attorneys and others involved … Continue reading

Hormone Replacement Therapy: Help or Hype?

Posted: Published on September 6th, 2012

WHAT IS HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?: Hormone replacement therapy medications containing female hormones to replace the ones the body no longer makes after menopause used to be a standard treatment for women with hot flashes and other menopause symptoms. Hormone therapy (as it's now called) was also thought to have the long-term benefits of preventing heart disease and possibly dementia. Use of hormone therapy changed abruptly when a large clinical trial found that the treatment actually posed more health risks than benefits for one type of hormone therapy, particularly when given to older postmenopausal women. As the concern about health hazards attributed to hormone therapy grew, doctors became less likely to prescribe it. Hormone therapy is no longer recommended for disease prevention, such as heart disease or memory loss. However, further review of clinical trials and new evidence shows that hormone therapy may be a good choice for certain women, depending on their risk factors. (Source: MayoClinic.com) BENEFITS OF HORMONE THERAPY: Systemic hormone therapy contains systemic estrogen (pill, skin patch, gel, cream or spray form) and is the most effective treatment for relief of hot flashes and night sweats. Estrogen can also ease vaginal symptoms of menopause (dryness, itching, burning and … Continue reading

PUBLISHED: 17:42 EST, 4 September 2012 | UPDATED: 06:41 EST, 5 September 2012 A study of identical twins has shown that breast feeding, daily moisturising and hormone replacement therapy positively affects how a woman's breasts age. However smoking, drinking alcohol and having multiple pregnancies can accelerate breast aging, according to researchers. The study, published today, shows how environmental factors, as well as higher body mass index (BMI) and larger bra and cup sizes can make breasts appear less beautiful over time.

Breast feeding, daily moisturizing and hormone replacement therapy can make a woman's breasts appear more beautiful, but smoking, drinking alcohol and having multiple pregnancies can take an aesthetic toll, according to researchers. A study of identical twins published today in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, "Determinants of Breast Appearance and Aging in Twins," shows environmental factors play a key role in how a woman's breasts age. Other factors like higher body mass index (BMI) and larger bra and cup sizes also contribute to accelerated breast aging, according to the study. An estimated 316,848 women had breast augmentations and 127,054 had breast lifts performed in 2011, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Now, women can identify lifestyle behaviors that can slow the aging process to avoid surgical intervention, according to the study, which was funded by a grant from the Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation. For the last three years, plastic surgeon Hooman T.

Courts Jury to answer that question after thousands of women sue drugmakers. More than eight years after alleging hormone therapy drugs caused and promoted her breast cancer, Toshiko Okuda is finally getting her day in court. Okuda was among dozens of Utah women and thousands nationwide who filed federal civil lawsuits against Wyeth and other drug manufacturers after researchers halted a National Institutes of Health sponsored study in 2002 upon finding an increased risk of invasive breast cancer among those using hormone replacement drugs. Her lawsuit, along with 68 others filed in Utah, was initially transferred to the Eastern District of Arkansas; three were remanded back to Utahs district court in April 2010. Okudas lawsuit is the only one of the three to proceed to trial; the other two cases were dismissed last year. U.S. District Court Judge David Nuffer is presiding over the jury trial, which is scheduled to end Sept. 7. The jury, comprised of seven women and five men, is expected to hear from at least 30 witnesses some in person, others in taped video presentations or depositions read in court before the trial concludes.
