Abstract
Because of similarities between human and nonhuman breast, monkeys have had a major role in clarifying controversies surrounding the breast cancer risk of estrogen only versus estrogen plus progestin therapies. The results of monkey studies suggest little or no effects of estrogen only treatment; whereas, estrogen + progestin clearly increases breast cancer risk.
