CONCLUSIONS: MHT use caused more than 500 cancers in Australian women in 2010 and prevented ∼50 colorectal cancers.
IMPLICATIONS: MHT use continues to cause an excess of cancers. The risks, benefits, regimen and treatment duration should be carefully considered for each woman before MHT is commenced.
