Do hormones cause breast cancer?

Recent studies have shown that taking hormones, particularly the combination of estrogen and progesterone, is associated with an increased risk for the development of breast cancer. This risk seemed to be most prevalent after four to five years of hormone use. Currently, it is recommended that if hormone replacement is necessary, it should be used only to treat hormone-depletion symptoms associated with menopause and should be used for the shortest time possible.
