Pursuing HRT Lawsuits for Victims of Breast Cancer
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), in various forms, has been used to treat menopausal symptoms in U.S. women since the early 1940s, when estrogen products were approved by the FDA. In the 1970s, estrogen replacement was linked to uterine cancer, breast cancer and potentially other cancers, and companies such as the pharmaceutical giants Wyeth and Pfizer faced important decisions.
Scientific Evidence of Links to Breast Cancer Has Become Conclusive
Pharmaceutical companies' primary solution to continue marketing HRT despite serious health concerns was the development of HRT products containing both estrogen and a synthetic form of another hormone called progestin. Many credible sources have cited evidence that this led to a breast cancer "epidemic" among women who took HRT products such as Prempro, Premarin and Provara.
In recent years, major clinical research studies have added substantial strength to the critical conclusion that HRT causes breast cancer. Hormone replacement therapy lawsuits are now being filed and won by women who took these HRT drugs and developed breast cancer, and we at Provost Umphrey are prepared to take valid cases to trial for our clients.
