The association between different hormone replacement therapy use and the incidence of lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many peri- and postmenopausal women use hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to relieve menopausal symptoms. However, the side effects of different HRT use (ever/current/former vs. never HRT use) on lung cancer risk in women were not completely consistent. Thus, we conducted this meta-analysis to examine the connection between current, former or ever HRT use and the incidence of lung cancer among women.

Methods

We systematically searched the PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and VIP databases to identify relevant articles published from the inception of the respective databases to February 18, 2022. On the relationship between different HRT use and the incidence of lung cancer among women
