CSDE Affiliate Kemi M. Doll (Obstetrics & Gynecology) was quoted in Scientific American in coverage of a decision by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to remove the black box warning on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medications for menopause. Estrogen-only therapies, however, will still carry labels that share the risk of endometrial or uterine cancer. Doll emphasized that people who have a uterus should be aware of the risks of these treatments. Doll also called for more research on HRT with new cohorts and centered on new questions that are relevant to women today. Doll’s contribution to this article was also featured in UW Today. Read more.
