Abstract
The WHI triggered a great debate on Menopausal Hormonal Therapy. We now know that HT should not be used in cardio-vascular prevention. Many studies have yet been published regarding it's influence on breast cancers. Risks should be modulated in respect with the type of treatment and the targeted population. Only recently menopaused women or women suffering from invalidating menopausal symptoms should benefit from HT. When an HT is needed, the authors recommend the use of trans-cutaneous estrogens combined with natural oral progesterone. Every HT should be prescribed individually, according to the patient's aspirations and expectations.
