Description: The purpose of this National Institutes of Health (NIH) conference is to review the results from the arm of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) clinical trial studying combination estrogen and progestin that was recently stopped, to place them in the context of other completed and ongoing Federally funded research on menopausal combination hormone therapy (HT), and to help clinicians and patients understand the implications of current knowledge on decisions regarding short- and long-term use of HT. In addition, the most recent information from the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force on hormone therapy and chronic disease will be presented as will recommendations on specific clinical uses of HT from other professional organizations.
