Abstract		A majority of young women who were treated for breast cancer will sooner or later bear the heavy burden of menopause or climacteric disorders which will be either due to cancer treatment or will develop as a natural consequence. It has been recognized that, in comparison to non-hormonal treatments, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is far more successful method of treatment of menopause disorders. Breast cancer is often hormone-related malignancy; therefore, questions concerning HRT and its risks of having a stimulating effect upon further tumor growth in women who have been treated for breast cancer deserve careful argumentation. The era of dogmatically denying women who previously had breast cancer any form of HRT is probably at an end.
