- Abstract
The article presents the authors' views on a commentary by F. Gordstein in response to their article on postmenopausal estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) published in this issue. They comment that high socioeconomic status is a key selection factor for ERT use. They remark on Grodstein's suggestion that when women become ill with cancer, many physicians stop ERT.
