“…Use of HRT prior to diagnosis in this population was not significantly associated with either coffee consumption or risk for early events. Some studies have previously reported that HRT increases disease-free survival [40][41][42], while others have reported a higher mortality rate [42][43][44]. None of these potential confounders could explain the results of this study.…”

“…Hormone therapy has been found to confer greater risk on invasive lobular, tubular, and mixed ductal-lobular histologic types (5-7)-types associated with better outcomes in some but not all studies-than for invasive ductal cancers. In addition, hormone therapy -associated tumors have been shown to be smaller (8)(9)(10)(11), hormone receptor positive (12)(13)(14), of lower grade (14)(15)(16)(17)(18), and to have fewer affected nodes (9,19) than tumors not associated with hormone therapy use. However, due to the strong correlation between histologic type and clinical characteristics, in particular estrogen receptor/ progesterone receptor (ER/PR) status (20)(21)(22)(23)(24), it is unclear which tumor subtypes are most strongly associated with hormone therapy use.…”
