    • both hormones in this therapy work together and it decreases the chance of cancer because you dont have a complete overload of estrogen with uterus but there is an increased risk for breast and uterine cancer
  2. Estrogen replacement therpay (ERT)- estrogen (NO UTERUS)
    • risks and benefits must be considered
    • may help with symptoms but increases risk of cancer
