Yes, ER(+) breast ca: Hormone replacement therapy (hrt), which generally refers to estrogen and Progesterone replacement after a women has reached menopause, has been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer if taken in combination for more than 5 years. If you are already diagnosed with a hormone positive breast cancer, we do recommend discontinuing hrt.
