“…Progesterone's role in breast cancer is controversial. It has been hypothesized that its activity of opposing estrogenic stimulation of the breast decreases breast cancer risk [6]. On the other hand, some believe that the risk of breast cancer is increased because breast mitotic rates are highest in the luteal (high progesterone) phase of the menstrual cycle [7].…”

“…[23][24][25][26] The only epidemiological study comparing the impact of progesterone and synthetic progestins on the breast was the PEPI trial, 27 in which the authors assessed differences between placebo and several HRTs on the change in mammographic percent density. Our result of breast cancer risk significantly greater with HRT containing synthetic progestins than with HRT containing micronized progesterone, at least for short durations of use (Ͻ 4 years), is therefore new.…”

“…(39) observaram que a administração de progesterona por 14 dias reduziu a proliferação celular induzida pelo estradiol. Este grupo advoga que os baixos índices de PCNA encontrados no grupo que usou TRHM combinando estrogênio e progesterona podem refletir a capacidade da progesterona em manter as células epiteliais na fase G1 do ciclo celular.…”

“…A progesterona, então, participaria na regulação da proliferação celular das células epiteliais da mama. Sendo assim, a progesterona administrada via percutânea, poderia ter um valor terapêutico, antagonizando os efeitos proliferativos estradiol induzidos, quando aplicados por 14 dias na mama (39).…”
