Conclusion
Ces études confirment donc l’effet promoteur du THS de la ménopause sur certains cancers du sein préexistants. Le risque relatif observé est faible et il semble, en fait, que le THS gomme l’effet protecteur de la ménopause.
Le THS réduit la sensibilité et la spécificité de la mammographie, surtout dans le cadre du dépistage organisé et en cas de seins denses.
Concernant la mortalité, on observe globalement environ 20 à 30 % de réduction de celle-ci à l’exception de la Million Women Study.
Il est intéressant de noter que ce sont les associations estroprogestatives comportant des progestatifs de « synthèse » qui augmentent le risque et, jusqu’à preuve du contraire, pas les estrogènes administrés seuls ou en association avec de la progestérone micronisée.
