2004 EJC Supplements  
Current use of hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) increases the incidence of breast cancer. The Million Women Study was set up to investigate the effects of specific types of HRT on incident and fatal breast cancer. Methods: 1084110 United Kingdom (UK) women aged 50-64 years were recruited into the Million Women Study between 1996 and 2001. They provided information about their use of HRT and other personal details, and were followed up for cancer incidence and death.
