- "...It is well understood that, due to proliferative effect on normal breast cells as well as on numerous breast cancer cell lines, estrogens are contraindicated for women at risk for breast cancer, because, as referenced above, increased estrone and estradiol levels are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. The supplementation of either of these forms of estrogen increases serum estradiol and estrone due to the pathways by which they are metabolized. In contrast, several studies have demonstrated an inverse relationship between estriol levels and breast cancer as well as antitumor effects of estriol.27,111-113 ... "
