Evidence-based Cardioogy - 5-2 years of follow up rather than the planned 8.5 years. The reasons for stopping were that an Increased risk for breast cancer started emerging at 4 years, which by 5 years had crossed the prespecified monitoring boundary. In addition, there was evidence of overall harm. At the time of stopping, the hazard ratios (HR) for the ma)or adverse effects were: breast cancer 1*26 (95% Cl 1l00-159), CHD 1-29 (95% Cl 1-02-1-63), stroke 1-41 (95% Ca 107-1-85), and pulmonary embolism 2-13 195% Cl 1.39-3-25). There were benefits for colorectal cancer, H 0-63 (95% Cl 0-43-093), and for hip fracture, HR 066 (95% Ct 0.45498), while endometrtal cancer and all-cause mortality were not affected. The investigators conclude that the risk-benefit profnle found In this trial Is not consistent with the requIrements for a viable prevention treatment, and In particular that this regimen should not be initiated or continued for the primary prevention of CHD. In addition, the substantlal risks for cardiovascular disease and breast cancer must be weighed against the benefit for fracture in selecting from the available agents for osteoporosis. WHI has answered the question of whether combined estrogen phis progestin, given by mouth for several years, prevents cardiovascular disease: It does not, and It does In fact Increase the risk. However as stated by the investigators, the use lor a few years (less than 4 years) to treat the symptoms of menopause may be reasonable, since the benefits may outweIgh the small absolute risk of cardiovascular disease In younger women. Of importance, the WHI trial of estrogen only In women who have had a hysterectomy is continuing, because the overall balance of benefits and risks remains uncertain.
