Why can estrogen injections cause cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CA and estrogen: As with most of medicine we think we know how estrogen causes CA but this is still being evaluated...E stimulates certain cells. Some of the different kinds of E can also cause free radicals in the cell which than causes damage to the DNA..resulting in CA. This is an active area of research. So more info to come in the next few years.
