New pill promises to reduce breast cancer risk

It also stops women having periods altogether - suggesting it could offer relief for the hundreds of thousands suffering from PMT.

That sounds like not a very good idea! an yet - trying to be helpful.....

Most recent advances have sought to end the need for women to remember to take the pill.

The attitude is always so strangely helpful and yet so condescending at the same time. Maybe they worry because we are so busy, and I am taking offense for no reason (i am after all a sensitive girly type that could burst into tears at any time - hormones you know)

once again the testing on mice - who have such teeny tiny breasts - it's a good thing they have microscopes.....

Adding mifepristone to cancer cells grown in the laboratory limited their growth, and tests on mice showed a reduction in progesterone-sensitive breast cancers. More studies were needed to examine benefits and side-effects, he said.
