Dr. Erika discusses the prevalence of breast cancer.  The fact is that one in eight women will get breast cancer.  Despite these staggering numbers, only 40% of women actually get mammograms, which will help in the early detection and treatment of breast cancer.

Most women who get breast cancer will get it after the age of 50 and this is due in large part to the loss of hormones that are abundant earlier in life.  Breast cancer may also be caused by medications that we take, the lifestyle that we lead, and so on.  Hormone replacement therapy can either decrease your risk of getting breast cancer or increasing it.

In the video the doctor talks about the better choices in hormone replacement therapy for the best outcome.
