Many women—and even some healthcare providers—automatically associate menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) with an increased risk of breast cancer. But is the connection as clear-cut as it seems? In this episode, we break down:

1. What the 2002 WHI study really says about MHT and breast cancer.
2. What those numbers mean for a woman going through menopause.
3. Why understanding relative and absolute risk is important.
4. The actual numbers behind MHT-related breast cancer risk.
5. Why today’s hormone therapies aren’t the same as those studied in WHI.
