Research Summary

Progesterone or progestins are a necessary adjunct to estrogen therapy in women who have a uterus (i.e., who have not had a hysterectomy) because of the risk of endometrial (uterine) cancer when estrogen is given alone. Progesterone has an antiproliferative effect and therefore protects the uterus.
