The controversy around Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) was recently fuelled by a U.S. study showing that there was a higher incidence of breast cancer and of cardiovascular diseases among women on HRT defined as "high risk".

Caroline Chaine has been a practising gynaecologist for more than twenty years. She has three children.
