Welcome to our hormone episode! What are they? Why would you need them? Why would your mom tell you they cause breast cancer?

As a surgeon that treats women with breast cancer, I’d like to set the record straight and show you the behind-the-scenes story about the most famous clinical trial that led to this controversial assumption, the WHI trial. I’ll also explain why hormone-related medical treatments may be helpful, so you can take the evidence and form your own opinion.
